About New York Pizza Department

WHO WE ARE (OUR WHY)

Our founders grew up experiencing two consistent things in their lives: Great New York pizza with the family every Friday night and Sunday dinners with their mom cooking in the kitchen with friends, family and community coming in the open door.

When they moved to Arizona, they wanted to bring both of those experiences to their new found friends and community. It was then they realized that you can bring the NY passion and heart to AZ but you have to bring the NY water to AZ if you want to make authentic New York pizza. It was from this idea that NY Pizza Department was born.

Now, 25 plus years later we continue to throw open the doors to friends, family and our community as we build upon the foundation that comes from our desire to create an experience for all of our community that reflects the quality and love we put into every pie that goes out the door.

Relentless Passion

From our own #Everykiddeserves drive to our local partners such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Arizona and Arizona Helping Hands we are proud to give back to the community we are so privileged to serve every day.

Food is Love

We express love through the quality and character of our ingredients and standards, including our specially filtered NY water, our steamed and peeled tomatoes, and our custom blended whole milk mozzarella. We don’t compromise because our guests deserve that.

We lead so we can Serve

We Elevate Everyone and it infuses our culture. Our growth model starts with more chances to serve. Our “organizational chart” is upside down for a reason. Our employees (or NY’ers) are not employees – they are our internal guests. We believe if we serve them, they will then serve our external guests and community with the same NY dedication and NY loyalty and from there we will be able to grow and serve more.

We Have Fun

We strive daily to create, embody and project an authentic, fun environment and culture that our guests could and often are a part of every day.

We think like guests and act like owners

We think like our guests who have a multitude of choices when they dine. We are continuously grateful that they trust us and empower every NY Pizza Department team member to anticipate and create those NY wow moments that become treasured memories.
