Our roots: Nonno's 'Paul's Pizza' in Greenlawn, NY, after immigrating from Giovinazzo, Bari.
Our Family, Our Story
Our story begins in Giovinazzo, Bari, Italy, before our Nonno, Paolo, brought his passion for authentic Italian food to Greenlawn, Long Island, opening the original 'Paul's Pizza.'
- His dedication to family, community, and fresh ingredients became our foundation
- Today, at Francesco's Trattoria, we are proud to continue that legacy in the heart of East Islip
Three Generations of Passion
From Nonno Paolo, to Francesco, to Joseph, the art of crafting the perfect pizza and a welcoming atmosphere has been passed down through our family.
- We're proud to be a true family-owned and operated restaurant, where every dish is prepared with the same love and attention that Nonna would give
- We're honored to be part of the East Islip community, where neighbors become friends and every meal is an opportunity to create lasting memories
Paolo, Francesco, and Joseph - three generations of passion.
