Our Story

Welcome to Celestino’s — and thank you for being here.

Celestino’s Pizza & Ristorante in New Providence was started by Jay, alongside his brother and their uncle Celestino, and is proudly family-owned and operated. From day one, Jay set out to build a place where great food, genuine hospitality, and community come together — because every order, every visit, and every interaction truly matters.

Jay learned the business from his uncle, who came to the U.S. from Calabria, Italy and spent more than 40 years building and operating multiple pizzerias and restaurants. Through that journey, Celestino shared with Jay not just recipes, but a deep passion for quality, consistency, and the joy of feeding a community well.

Today, that same passion lives on at Celestino’s — You can count on us to bring people together over exceptional food that satisfies everyone’s cravings, paired with friendly service, convenience, and joy in every interaction.

We’re grateful to serve our community and look forward to being part of your table for years to come.
