Our Roots in Staten Island’s Richmond Community

Pizza didn’t just happen for us. It’s something our family carried in their bones long before we unlocked the doors of our Richmond shop. When we opened here, it wasn’t about chasing trends. It was about sharing the food we grew up with, the kind made slowly, with real patience and stubborn love. At Pizza Mia Richmond, we bring our Sicilian heartbeat straight to Staten Island’s east shore. Hand tossed dough. Sauce simmered the old way. Fresh mozzarella made every single morning. Richmond welcomed us from day one, and honestly, we’ve never stopped feeling grateful for the neighbors who turned into regulars, and the regulars who turned into friends.

Crafting Every Pie with Care

A good pizza starts way before it ever hits the oven. Ours begins nearly two days earlier. Our dough rests for 38 hours, building that airy, crisp bite you can taste even before you swallow. Every pie gets that same care. Sure, we’ve got the classics. But Richmond knows we lean into our favorites too, like our chicken parm pie, the alla vodka beauty everyone fights over, and the grandma that disappears the second it cools. We don’t complicate things. Fresh ingredients. Honest recipes. Staten Island flavor. That’s it.

A Place Built on Family

Walk through our doors on any afternoon and you’ll see it right away. This place runs on people, not just ovens. Some of our crew has been with us since the very beginning, long before we perfected our grandma slice or figured out the exact amount of basil a vodka pie needs. They’re family, plain and simple. And our customers? Same thing. We know your names. Your usual orders. The pie you grab on Fridays and the one you sneak in for lunch on Wednesdays. When you step inside Pizza Mia Richmond, it’s not just a shop. It’s home. And we’re always happy to see you.
