History

Established in 2014.

«My grandmother’s pizza was the best. She influenced me. My mom and grandmother are full Italian. My mom never learned to cook — my grandmother did all the cooking and wouldn’t let her in the kitchen. But I spent so much time with her — she just turned 90. I learned to cook watching her as a kid.

«I’ve begged my grandmother all these years for her dough recipe… she tells me she’ll leave it to me in her will,» he said, laughing.

The pies he makes are, for the most part, traditional. «All we had were sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms growing up. That’s what I know.»

He calls the modern pizza combinations he’s seen «designer» pizzas.

«I have requests for stuff I’d never thought to put on a pizza — I remember when ham and pineapple became popular — Hawaiian pizza they call it. Then they started getting crazy. On the boardwalk on the Jersey shore, they put baked ziti on your pizza, or French fries. A loaded baked potato pizza — you can get anything on a pizza here.

Business Owner

What he does have is pizza — made totally from scratch. He makes the dough, grows the basil, and hand-​crushes tomatoes for the sauce he also makes.

«I get up early — I’m here from 8 a.m. to midnight, seven days,» he said. «I do it all. It’s hard work, but I love it.»

He’s used to hard work — the 48-​year-​old is a former heavy-​equipment operator, and ran bulldozers and cranes at construction sites in South Florida and South Jersey. «I was working on that big airport rebuild in Fort Lauderdale,» he said.

So what drove him from pushing dirt to throwing pizza?

«When I worked in a pizza place as a kid, I had so much fun — I just wanted to have that fun again. The shop I worked at as a kid, we were all young. It was a very busy place, but we all worked together and had fun. «I opened this place to have fun again.»

Conover, originally of Staten Island, N.Y., has no formal training in the kitchen. «I just know what tastes good and goes together.»
