A small pizzeria in Naples, Italy is the inspiration behind Tony Gemignani's story for Tony's Pizza Napoletana. A fullfillment in his ever growing passion for pizza drew him to self content when he first tried an authentic Neapolitan pizza. Since then he was determined to learn this art of pizza making and one day open a restaurant like no other. Growing up, Tony worked by his mother's side, learning valuable skills he would later implement in operating a successful restaurant. Tony learned the creativity involved in preparing hand crafted dishes, only to include the finest ingredients straight from the heart of Italy.

 Since 1991 Tony has been involved in the pizza industry working with his brother Frank at the famous Pyzano's Pizzeria in Castro Valley. Since then Tony has won numerous awards including Best Pizza Margherita at the World Pizza Cup in Naples, Italy in 2007. Tony was the first American and non Neapolitan to win this coveted award in Naples. Now right in the heart of North Beach lies Tony's Pizza Napoletana where Tony hand crafts the award winning pizza Margherita right out of the same oven he won in Naples, the Cirigliano Wood Burning. Tony's Pizza Napoletana is a state of the art full service restaurant that offers several styles of pizzas which include Classic American, Italian, Sicilian and Neapolitan pizzas and displays four different types of pizza ovens. A delightful array of anitpasti, pastas, insalata, and dolci are available at Tony's including a full bar that includes Italian and California wines, aperitifs, digestives and hand crafted artisan cocktails.
