THE PIE THAT PUT US ON THE MAP
MEET THE NONI
Our famous square Grandma-style pizza, with a crispy, caramelized crust, house-made marinara, a blend of cheese, and fresh basil. It's the pie that put us on the map and remains our #1 bestseller.
CRISP. CHEWY.
UNMISTAKABLY NONI.
Grandma-style pizza began in Italian home kitchens before finding a devoted following in New York pizzerias during the late ’60s and early ’70s. Our version, The Noni, starts with signature dough stretched across an olive-oil-lined square steel pan, creating a thinner alternative to traditional Sicilian-style pizza.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
THE CRUST
A shorter proof gives The Noni its thinner, denser texture. A generous layer of olive oil crisps the bottom as it bakes, creating a golden, almost fried crust with a sturdy chew.
THE MARINARA SAUCE
Our house-made marinara is thicker, chunkier, and slightly sweeter. It is added over the cheese in signature diagonal stripes, giving every slice bold tomato flavor.
THE CHEESE
The cheese goes down first before the pizza is baked for approximately 20 minutes. Fresh pulled mozzarella and basil complete The Noni’s unmistakable finish.
