The Popular Pop-up Known for Its Brick-Oven “La-Style” Pizzas and Community-Driven Spirit Opens Its First Restaurant
Fiorelli Pizza, a Venice-born pop-up celebrated for its brick-oven pies and neighborhood charm, is taking a major step this fall with the opening of its first permanent restaurant on West Third Street, joining a lineup of beloved local spots such as Joan’s on Third and Magnolia Bakery.
The new location marks a milestone for co-founders Chef Michael Fiorelli, formerly of Olivetta and Love & Salt, and Liz Gutierrez, who previously served as Director of Administration and HR for the Boujis Group. The pair launched Fiorelli Pizza in 2024 with a focus on simplicity, hospitality, and community, values that have become the backbone of their growing brand.
