Rustic Pizza | Our Story

Since our original location on Lincoln Avenue opened in 2020, Rustic Pizza & Pasteria has been serving Staten Island a fresh take on Italian comfort food, combining the warmth of a neighborhood pizzeria with the experience of a full-service Italian restaurant. From handcrafted specialty pizzas and house-made pasta to classic Italian entrées and creative seasonal dishes, Rustic focuses on great food in a casual, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're joining us for a family dinner, happy hour, takeout, catering, or a special celebration, our goal is simple: Award-Winning. Neighborhood Favorite. Always Rustic.
