Excellence
A Pizza Story Born
in New York City
It all started in 2009 when founder Marco Deluca set up a small wood-fired oven in his apartment on the Upper East Side. What began as weekend pizza parties for friends quickly grew into something neither he nor New York was ready for — a full-blown obsession with hand-stretched dough, fresh local ingredients, and sauces made from heirloom tomatoes.
In 2010, Jet's Pizza opened its first location at 1165 2nd Ave. The line stretched around the block on opening day and hasn't stopped since. Today, we serve hundreds of pies daily, and every single one is made with the same care and dedication as that very first slice.
- Fresh dough made from scratch every morning — never frozen
- Locally sourced toppings from New York-area farms and markets
- Wood-fired ovens that reach 900°F for that perfect char and crunch
- Family recipes passed down and perfected over three generations
What Drives Everything We Do
Three core pillars guide every pizza we make, every order we deliver, and every customer we serve.
Made with Love
We believe great food is an act of love. Every pizza is hand-crafted with genuine care, from the first stretch of dough to the final garnish of fresh basil.
Fresh & Honest
No shortcuts, no preservatives, no compromises. We source the freshest ingredients and let their natural flavors do the talking — honest food for honest people.
Community First
Jet's Pizza is more than a restaurant — it's a neighborhood institution. We support local suppliers, employ local talent, and give back to the community we call home.
The Principles Behind

We refuse to cut corners. Quality is our non-negotiable standard in every ingredient we select and every technique we employ.
