Our Story

Rooted in Tradition Since Day One

40 Years of History

Established in 1986, Carlo's Pizzeria & Ristorante in Shirley, NY, has proudly served authentic Italian cuisine for four decades. Founded by Frank's father, a proud Sicilian native, the family tradition and recipes have been lovingly continued by Frank.

Come enjoy a genuine taste of Sicily and warm, time-honored hospitality. Every pie, every hero, and every tray of eggplant parmigiana starts with the recipes our family brought to Long Island in 1986.

Same location. Same recipes. Three generations serving our community.

Family Owned & Operated Since 1986

Carlo's is not a chain and never will be. It is a family business at 451 Glen Dr in Shirley, where neighbors have watched three generations grow up behind the counter.

From our Grandma pizza and Sicilian pies to catering trays for the neighborhood's biggest celebrations, we cook the way our family has always cooked: fresh, generous, and from the heart.
