Where taste meets tradition.
Since 1969 we have been helping locals and summer visitors alike make core memories around our authentic Italian pizza.
Opened by my father Domenic on May 19th, 1969 — Domenic brought a taste of his childhood in Naples, Italy over to the Jersey Shore and quickly became a staple here in Point Pleasant. My father spent decades perfecting his pizza and growing a loyal fan base of pizza enthusiasts.
I spent my childhood watching my father greet every customer by name and treating every slice like a masterpiece. When it came time for me to take the helm I knew my mission was simple… to honor my father and his legacy.
Today we still use the same recipes that we have been using since the day we opened. You will never find us cutting corners — you will always see us putting quality and taste first. Whether it be our house-made dough that's proofed to perfection or our freshly made tomato sauce, we promise you will be able to taste the difference in our pizza.
To our long-time customers, you are the reason I am able to keep my father's legacy going. To our future customers, we look forward to getting to know you and to show you what Vesuvios is all about.
Sincerely,
Dario Costagliola
(…and his wife Brittany of course!)
