La Scala Ristorante Pizzeria
About us
La Scala was founded in December of 1974 by Nunzio Cusumano at the ripe, old age of 21. An immigrant from Sicily, having been in the country for only five years, he took his chance at the American dream with the ingredients that he knew best. Tomatoes! La Scala’s first slice of pizza was born on December 7, 1974. And it was a phenomenal hit!! We do everything we can to keep the integrity of that pizza the same to this very day and to treat everyone who walks in our doors as a member of our family.
A couple of years and a couple of bambini later, Nunzio's wife, Milena, came to help out. And help she did. A bustling pizzeria grew into a vibrant restaurant.
While Milena kept a watchful eye on La Scala throughout the years, Nunzio went out and launched almost a dozen other, successful Italian restaurants in the Long Island area.
