Gaby’s Pizza

Gaby’s Pizza, located in the Fran Hill Mall on Hillside Avenue and Francis Lewis Boulevard, is family owned and operated since 1964 by Guerrino LoGiudice, Orlando Correale, Andre LoGiudice and Gerome Seidita.

Brothers Guerrino and John LoGiudice founded Gaby’s in 1964 after migrating from Rome, Italy four storefronts away from its current location. It was a smaller space with booths, a few tables and a jukebox that played songs for 10 cents. The pizza shop was small and virtually invisible until neighborhood people got hooked on the homemade dishes and began flooding the parlor with family and friends. Gaby’s Pizza is family owned and operated and still uses its original ingredients from the cheese to the sauce. The cheese is aged in the shop’s refrigerators and the dough is stretched out in olive oil and is topped with a sauce made from imported tomatoes from Italy before being baked upon a specially made screen.
