Our Story

The Pizza Legacy Continues!

The Pizza Legacy Continues!

Marty O’Brien, Elizabeth O’Brien, and their family devoted over 30 years to the restaurant industry, sharing their love of cooking, baking, and creating meals that brought people together. The vision for Pizza Rock began after Marty spent time in Italy with Elizabeth and their two daughters, who were born in Rome, experiencing the rich flavors of authentic Roman and Neapolitan pizzas alongside traditional Tuscan and Roman dishes.

Marty’s dedication and expertise inspired a remarkable team who learned from him and have played a vital role in making Pizza Rock what it is today. Their hard work and loyalty continue to uphold the values and excellence that define the restaurant. After Marty’s passing, Mark Sahoury and the Pizza Rock staff are dedicated to preserving his legacy by continuing to uphold the traditions and quality that made Pizza Rock a beloved community favorite.

The classic Margherita pizza in Naples and the Pizza Bianca in Rome tasted unlike any other Pizza he had sampled in America. Marty set out to learn the Art of making fresh pasta, homemade sauces, breads and Pizza with the enthusiasm to open a Pizzeria in the future. Marty spent two summers in Florence and Rome and then spent months in New York, Brooklyn and Staten Island to learn how to make the New York Style and Brick oven style Pizza.

Our Dough and Baked Breads

Our Dough and Baked Breads
In minutes the simplest things can become the most difficult and that is certainly true for our dough that we have spent over a year perfecting to find the right ingredients. The requirements are quite extensive, including the consistency of the finished product (soft, elastic and easy to fold). We balanced a perfect blend to make a crispy, crunchy shell offering a nice doughy flavor profile that cooks in three minutes!

Our Sauce

We use only San Marzano imported Italian tomatoes combined with fresh herbs to create a balance that compliments all our fresh ingredients made in house daily.

Our Pizza

Our Pizza
Our Pizza is made with fresh Mozzarella cheese and topped with imported Marzano tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and the most important ingredient, where all the magic happens, in the hands of the pizza chef.
