In 1977, Raffaele and Concetta Maietta arrived in the U.S. with only one hundred dollars and baby boy Andrea in their arms.
Their dream of a better life led to the creation of People’s Pizza, the first family venture.
Over the years, their children grew up immersed in this passion, helping transform the restaurant into the welcoming space it is today. With a newly renovated dining room and a name that reflects the family legacy, Ristorante Maietta was born.
