Summary
New wrinkles in the Great American Pizza Story aren’t uncommon, but it nevertheless shook the pizza world to its core when, last week, a Chicago researcher named Peter Regas detailed new evidence that he says fundamentally changes the story of how pizza first arrived in New York — which is to say of how pizza first arrived in America.Everything in pizza lore is disputed by someone, but the most commonly accepted story is that America’s first pizzeria was Lombardi’s, established by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 ½ Spring Street in 1905. By 1917 or 1918, D’Errico sold the pizzeria back to Lombardi, who apparently then decided he was tired of playing musical pizza chairs and stayed put.Meanwhile, according to Regas, Milone was opening other pizzerias in New York around this same time, and that’s what makes him such a crucial figure.
