Sciortino's Harbor Lights • 1937

Paolo and Francis Sciortino opened one of America's pioneering pizzerias in 1937, and four generations later, their family still turns out brick oven pies crowned with California tomatoes and Wisconsin mozzarella. No freezers, no microwaves—just fresh pasta, hand-rolled meatballs, and the kind of old-world Italian cooking that has kept South Amboy coming back for nearly ninety years. The brick oven still blazes, and the Sciortinos still run the kitchen.
