About Us
From a humble diner to Fort Lee’s favorite spot for authentic Italian food — our story is built on family, tradition, and a love for great pizza.
Our Story
Established in 1973, Fort Lee Pizzeria has been the staple pizzeria in Bergen County for over 40 years! Fort Lee Pizzeria offers delicious dining, take-out and delivery to Fort Lee and surrounding towns.
How It All Began
It all started when Benny Pulice, a proud immigrant from Cosenza, Italy, turned a run-down diner into a welcoming pizzeria in 1973. With help from his wife Maria and son Rick, Fort Lee Pizzeria became a neighborhood spot where people gathered for real Italian food. The mission was simple — use the best ingredients, serve every guest with care, and make each meal feel like home.
The Heart of Italian Cooking
Our menu reflects the same belief Benny built the restaurant on — “If you buy the best quality ingredients, you come up with the best tasting Italian food.” Each pizza, pasta, and hero is made with that same promise. Every recipe honors our Italian roots while keeping things fresh, simple, and flavorful. This is more than a restaurant — it’s a family tradition passed from one generation to the next.
