The Pizza Place (NorthSide)

Franco’s first job making pizza and where he learned to make the Sicilian style was in the USA at DaVinci’s on 18th Ave in Brooklyn, NY. After realizing a love for making pizza, an opportunity came for him to purchase his own pizzeria.

On the coast of Naples, Italy, in a small hilltop town, our story begins. Francesco (Franco) Scotto Rinaldi, his brother Giuseppe (Pepe) and brother-in-law Michele (Miguel) Scotto di Luzio were born in Monti Di Procida and grew up like most seaside boys do; dreaming of boats and the open sea. All three started their Maritime career learning to pilot and repair ships, both large and small.
