Villa Pizza / Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen

Fresh baked pizza, homemade pasta, stuffed strombolis, specialty salads and fresh made Italian entrees all add up to the perfect Fresh Italian Kitchen.

Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen is built on the strict loyalty to authentic old-world recipes that Michele Scotto brought with him from Naples, Italy. From the first pizzeria that opened in 1964 next to the Ed Sullivan Theater on 53rd and Broadway, to our most recent restaurant, that commitment to quality food and genuine hospitality is the hallmark of Villa.

Times Square, NYC

At Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen we know who we are and what our guests expect and that has been the cornerstone of our success.
