Pizza Nova – Where Tenafly gets its favorite pizza

A Legacy of Love, Pizza, and Community

Pizza Nova is more than just a pizzeria—it’s the story of Andrew and Maria, who brought their passion and family recipes to the heart of Tenafly over 20 years ago. Andrew fell in love with pizza back in 1970. What started as a teenage obsession became a lifelong craft. He perfected his dough, refined his sauces, and never stopped chasing that perfect slice. In 2004, he and his wife Maria opened Pizza Nova with a simple dream: to serve real, high-quality food with heart.
It’s tradition. It’s comfort. It’s community.

It’s tradition. It’s comfort. It’s community.

Together, they created a neighborhood staple known for gourmet pizza slices, hearty soups, and mouthwatering sandwiches that go far beyond the average corner shop. Maria’s warmth welcomes you in, while Andrew’s dedication to flavor and tradition keeps you coming back. For over two decades, Pizza Nova has been serving the Tenafly community like family—offering food that’s made with care, served with love, and rooted in decades of passion.

This isn’t just food. It’s tradition. It’s resilience. It’s home.
