Magic David Pizzeria
Verified
We always love discovering a family-own pizza place with a unique story behind its name and Magic David Pizza 🍕certainly has a good one. When we photographed this Dyker Heights, Brooklyn pizzeria in 2011 for our book “Store Front II- A History Preserved” we interviewed the owner Rosa Fiore who shared with us the secret behind its name. Her husband opened the 🇮🇹 restaurant with her in 1987 and they called it “Magic David Pizza” because “my husband was a professional magician and David was the name of our nephew and it’s easy to pronounce and remember”. Sadly Rosa told us that their landlord had recently raised their rent and they would not be able to stay much longer although she did not want to close as the restaurant is “like my second home”. She also told us that she did not want to raise prices although the cost of their raw materials including tomatoes 🍅 and flour had more than doubled.

We dedicate this post to Rosa and her husband as we truly appreciate the beauty and importance of small mom-and-pop shops like this one. In the comments, please let us know what other family owned pizzerias we should highlight in our feed.
