Old World Pizza, Pasta, Salad, & Stromboli! Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen is built on the strict loyalty to authentic old-world recipes that Michele Scotto brought with him from Naples, Italy. From the first pizzeria that opened in 1964 next to the Ed Sullivan Theater on Broadway, to our most recent restaurant, that commitment to quality food and genuine hospitality is still the hallmark of Villa. With well over 300 locations internationally, Villa continues to grow based on providing guests what they want— old world pizza, homemade pasta, authentic Italian entrées, salads and specialty items that meet their ever-changing lifestyle.
