FROM SICILY TO OCEAN CITY

A family tradition built over generations and proudly serving Ocean City since 1991.

our story

Our father working in one of the early family pizzerias.

Randazzo’s Pizza is more than a restaurant. It’s the story of a family, a dream, and generations of hard work.

In 1975, our father immigrated to America and settled in New Jersey, where he began working in local pizzerias and learning the craft by hand. Over the years, that passion grew into opening and operating multiple family pizzerias throughout Pennsylvania.

Ocean City always felt special.

After spending a summer working at this location in 1980, an opportunity came in 1991 to purchase the restaurant and make it his own. That decision became the beginning of what Randazzo’s is today.

Over the years, our family built more than pizza shops. We built memories, traditions, and a place where generations could work side by side. While our parents built and operated the business, our grandparents were always part of the journey, helping out, showing up, and making the restaurant feel like an extension of home.

Today, siblings, uncles, and the next generation continue carrying that tradition forward, with our children already becoming part of the story.

In 2025, we lost our father, but not his vision.

His dream was simple: come to America, build something meaningful, create opportunities for family, and serve people with pride.

Today, Randazzo’s remains our family’s final and longest-standing location, and every pizza, every customer, and every season in Ocean City continues that legacy.

Thank you for being part of our story.

1979 • First Family Pizzeria Turning Experience Into Opportunity

After years of learning and hard work, the family opened one of its first pizzerias in New Jersey, building the foundation for what would eventually become Randazzo’s.

2006 • Rebuilding For The Future

After years of growth, we rebuilt the restaurant to create more space, improve operations, and prepare for the next generation of Randazzo’s.

2007 • A Vision Comes To Life

Years of work and sacrifice led to this moment. The rebuilt restaurant reflected our father’s belief in family, hard work, and creating a place where Ocean City families could gather for generations..

2014 • Expansion

Years after rebuilding, continued growth created a new challenge: we had outgrown the original space. Our family purchased the neighboring building, once known to many as the Aquaport Arcade, and transformed it to expand operations and support the next chapter of Randazzo’s.

THE LEGACY CONTINUES

Randazzo’s has always been about more than pizza. What began with our father’s dream became generations working side by side, creating memories, serving Ocean City, and passing traditions forward.

In 2025, we lost our father, but not his vision. Today, our mother, our family, and the next generation continue carrying forward the values he built this restaurant on.
