This week marks our 10 year anniversary!
We've found ourselves reflecting on a decade filled with cherished memories, dedicated work, and unwavering community support. When we opened our doors in July of 2014, we embarked on a journey fueled by passion, tradition, and a love for authentic Neapolitan pizza.
Our story began almost two years before our grand opening. John came home one day after being let go from his media sales job, and said, "I think it's time to open a restaurant!"
This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. We had always dreamed of opening a restaurant together since our early dating days, inspired by our shared experience in hospitality and our desire to create a space where people could enjoy quality food and genuine Italian hospitality.
John's roots run deep in Italian tradition. Growing up in a large Italian family, he learned the art of making Neapolitan pizza dough from his grandmother, who was born in Naples.
Over the past decade, we've celebrated countless proud moments. From the overwhelming support on our opening day to the resilience we showed during the pandemic by shifting to online orders and creating take-and-bake pizza kits for families, the sense of community has been a constant source of inspiration and gratitude.
When you visit Locale90, we hope you feel a sense of family and casual sophistication, as if you're at a cozy pizzeria in Italy. We take pride in the quality of our food, the authenticity of our pizza, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere we've created.
As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community, regulars, staff, and patrons for your years of support and trust. Your loyalty and enthusiasm have been the pillars of our success, and we look forward to continuing to serve you for many years to come.
Here's to a decade of Locale90 and to many more years of delicious pizza, cherished memories, and strong community bonds.
Thank you, South Bay, for being part of our journey!
With gratitude, Jen and John
