Patsy’s Pizza
Patsy’s Pizza
2287 First Avenue
East Harlem
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Clark Pena, Communications Director
Tel: 212-410-1263
Cell: 646-713-3187

Patsy’s Pizza, an East Harlem staple since the Great Depression, ranks high on the list of New York’s so-called “legacy” pizzerias. Established by Pasquale “Patsy” Lancieri, who trained under pizza patriarch Gennaro Lombardi, Patsy’s has been churning out its thin and crispy, yet surprisingly chewy, coal-fired pies to generations of locals and pizza pilgrims. Known for its tangy sauce and creamy mozzarella (they offer both regular and fresh mozzarella), Patsy’s may be short on decor and service, but it more than makes up for it with what many consider to be one of the best pizza pies in the Big Apple.
While Patsy’s is a little bit out of the way, and is known for servers who basically tell you what you want (if you order two pies, they insist on bringing them out one at a time), the pain and sacrifice are immediately forgotten when that smoky, perfectly charred slice hits your lips for the for the first time.
Lancieri is also notable in the history of New York pizza for passing on his craft to his nephew, Patsy Grimaldi, who opened the award-winning Grimaldi’s Pizza many years later in Brooklyn.
While the Lancieris no longer own Patsy’s, and the name has since been franchised out to some less-than-stellar pizzerias, the original Patsy’s was bought by long-time employees of the Lancieri family who have carried on Patsy’s great pizza-making tradition.
Patsy’s doesn’t deliver unless your name is Frank Sinatra. Legend has it that Ol’ Blue Eyes would have Patsy's pies sent down to him at the Waldorf-Astoria, or send a plane from Los Angeles to pick up a few dozen pies for himself and the boys.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATSY'S !

A Landmark East Harlem Institution Celebrates its 75th Anniversary
Patsy's 75 years and counting!
Grilled 12 ounce New York cut steak, 90 cents? Grilled Salmon filet served with fresh lemon, 90 cents? Original coal oven pizza, 60 cents? Soda, ice tea, bottled water, 10 cents? Yes, unbelievable but true. Patsy's Restaurant a landmark East Harlem institution will be celebrating its 75th Anniversary by rolling back to the 1930s.
Patsy's first opened its New York City location at 2287-91 1st Avenue in 1933, having been the dream of a pair of Italian Immigrant newlyweds, Patsy and Carmella Lancieri. Patsy's established itself as a family style" old fashion type" neighborhood restaurant immediately. Positioning itself in the neighborhood, Patsy's catered to the growing population of Italian immigrants who longed for the cuisine of their fatherland in a casual family style atmosphere.
As a result, almost immediately, Patsy's atmosphere, style and cuisine began attracting many popular famous personalities. Actors and singers such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin and others became regulars. Famous New York Yankees, Phil Rizzutto, Joe Dimaggio and Yogi Berra made it a convenient stop. Elected Officials to include Rudy Guliani, Mike Bloomberg, Spiro Agnew and others visited after a day of vigorous campaigning.
Patsy's will be celebrating this momentous occasion by rolling back all its prices on its menu. Proclamations will be presented by the office of, New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Congress Member Charlie Rangel, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, Council Member Melissa Mark Viverito among others. We will enjoy music, food and yes, the traditional cutting of the cake. Happy Birthday Patsy's!
