Classic Pizza has closed after 36 years of serving Staten Island, leaving a legacy as an iconic local pizzeria. The new pizzeria, Pizza Mia, will take over the location and has confirmed that they are undergoing renovations. Pizza Mia, which has an existing location in Rosebank, aims to capture a similar spirit as its predecessor. The new location will mark Pizza Mia's expansion to three locations in total. The seating arrangement for patrons in the new establishment remains uncertain as renovations are ongoing.
Classic Pizza served its final pies from their brick ovens on June 15, after dishing out slices to Staten Islanders for 36 years.
Pizza Mia plans to open up its second location at the 3201 Richmond Rd. location, taking over from Classic Pizza.
Pizza Mia's history in Rosebank is akin to Classic Pizza's start in the restaurant world, according to Rocchio.
The storefront held just 10 seats for patrons while it was Classic Pizza; whether that will remain the same for Pizza Mia has yet to be seen.
