Boun Appetito's NY Pizza

Giuseppe Merone began working at the young age of ten in a restaurant, located in Naples, Italy. He immersed himself in every part of the restaurant business and began experimenting with various recipes. Giuseppe "Joe" Merone loved to cook and would stay up through the night experimenting with his ideas. He had an aspiration to open his own restaurant business.

When he was sixteen a close group of friends invited him to America to visit their restaurant. He was afforded an opportunity to show them his culinary skills; so impressed with his capabilities, they hired him. He was everyone's favorite employee and one day was asked to work in the front of the house. He had a limited knowledge of the English language but with the help of fellow employees and guest, he was able to become proficient in a year.
