Digital Media Organization, GoELizabethNJ, Features A Tommy's Pizza Story!

Tommy's Pizzeria & Restaurant has been family owned and operated since 1981. We're an old school Italian kitchen with recipes that date back over 100 years to our grandparents in Vallata.  Since the birth of the computer in the 20th century up to the current social media mobile age, Tommy's has remained a simple brick and mortar family style pizza parlor with no fancy flair and especially without any presence on the world wide web. 
Recently we started a Facebook and Twitter account to try and create a digital footprint for the first time so that people can at least see our phone number and menu. We still haven't advanced into creating a web page aside from a simple blog that we created so that people can at least get directions to our establishment. 
So back to our story,........last week a family that was visiting New Jersey for the first time, took a long flight from Texas, landed in Newark airport and were out to find something to eat! 
After doing a search on social media, Karla and her two sons, Ethan & Carlos, found Tommy's Pizza on Fairmount Ave!  Maybe this social media stuff might work we thought? 
The following morning, Karla left a beautiful review of their visit at Tommy's and recommended our restaurant to others! 
We appreciated her kind words so much that we told the story on our blog to let all our followers know! 
Turns out that GoELizabethNJ, a digital media marketing organization, that specializes on tourism in the Elizabeth area picked up our story and featured it on the GoELizabethNJ.com website! 
Last night Karla and her boys were ready to return to Texas and before heading to Newark Airport they made their way back Tommy's for their farewell dinner! (below are photos of Karla, Ethan and Carlos at Tommy's)

This warms our hearts!

A Texas Family Falls In Love With Tommy's Pizza!


Thursday in Elizabeth at Tommy's Pizza was just an ordinary warm August summer day.  This is our 38th year on Fairmount Ave and as usual  at this time of the year we wake up pick out our vegetables from the garden, make our dough, bake our bread and get our morning delivery from Centanni's Pork store in Peterstown,  We then decide what we are going to put on our specials for the day, play around on the computer and print out a new specials menu for the day.

When Tony decides what he is going to prepare for the day he thinks about each and every customer that he knows will be dining at Tommy's that day. You just never know who's going to walk in but Tony has a pretty good idea, Mr Sal and his grandson,  Mr & Mrs Vella, Vito Giannetta,  Jennifer and Dorian, Vito Mazza, the Vella brothers, Vito Cassano, Russ Demaio, Melissa, the Port Authority employees, the Newark Airport employees, the guests at all the hotels near Newark airport, the Board of Education staff or a catering order for the staff at Square One Auto in Rahway, the list goes on and on.....



Yesterday a beautiful family (Karla and her son's Carlos and Ethan) from Texas landed at Newark airport and were visiting New Jersey for the first time and after their long flight, rented a car and were in search of an Italian restaurant.  They arrived at Tommy's and finally able to sit down and relax. We shared our daily specials with them and helped them order and learned of their plight. Karla the mom told us they she found Tommy's on social media and chose to come because the food looked so appetizing and it was so close to the airport.  We were so grateful that they chose Tommy's and were even more happy that they loved our food!
We are truly blessed at Tommy's to be able to meet so many people that land at Newark Airport and make Tommy's their first destination for a homemade Italian meal.  


This morning we woke up and found a beautiful review on Facebook and it was such a delight to read that we just had to share the note with you. We know in this fast paced world there are so many businesses who are chasing volume and profits, but here at Tommy's, our goal is simply to cook with Love and make everyone simply sit, relax and enjoy a home cooked meal made fresh personally for them.


We really appreciate when someone takes the time to leave such a wonderful review! buon appetito!
