It is with mixed emotions that we announce the permanent closure of Italy’s Finest Pizzeria effective June 13, 2021.
Saturday, June 12 will be our last day of operation. It has been our family’s pleasure to serve northwest Florida and
southeast Alabama high-quality Italian food for over four decades.

The pizzeria has been a fundamental part of our lives. Our parents took a chance when they bought the pizzeria at
University Mall and relocated our family to Pensacola in 1977. From very early ages, we joined our parents at the
pizzeria – washing dishes, serving customers, wiping tables, learning the ropes – and often doing homework from the
corner booth. We were privileged to work alongside them day after day as kids, and as adults we were privileged to
continue the legacy they started so many years ago. The pizzeria has been good to us. YOU have been good to us.
And yet, for us the time has come for change. Over the last year we have realized how precious family is and how
quickly time passes. We close the doors on the pizzeria not because of failure, but to intentionally pursue more time
with our young families.

Thank you for your loyal patronage and for supporting our American Dream. Many of you became friends and we have
cherished being part of the community.
Please welcome Izaeh”s Steakhouse who will be opening their second location
here in the coming weeks.

We wish you all the best for a happy and prosperous future. Ciao and buona fortuna!
Joe and Sal DiBella
