East Coast Pizza is a family-owned New York-style pizzeria proudly serving the Riverview community since 2005. Founded by Aaron, a New York native with Sicilian roots, East Coast Pizza was built from a lifelong dream of bringing authentic NY-style pizza to Florida using quality ingredients and family-inspired recipes.
Aaron’s passion for pizza began at a young age while working in pizzeria in New York. Inspired by the traditional pizza he grew up with, he opened East Coast Pizza in July 2005 to serve handcrafted pizzas, fresh ingredients, and classic Italian favorites to the growing Riverview community.
Over the years, East Coast Pizza has expanded and renovated to continue growing alongside the community while staying true to its roots — offering authentic New York-style pizza, wings, pasta, salads, garlic rolls, and family meals in a welcoming atmosphere.
In 2015, Aaron married his wife, Kristen, who soon after joined the business, making East Coast Pizza a true family-run restaurant. Together with their children, Gary and Emma, the family continues to serve guests with the same dedication, quality, and hospitality that have made East Coast Pizza a local favorite for over 20 years.
Whether you’re dining in, ordering takeout, or getting delivery, East Coast Pizza is proud to serve Riverview, Brandon, Apollo Beach, Gibsonton, and surrounding South Shore communities with authentic New York-style pizza and Italian food made with care.
