February 27, 2025 • Pizza Today • Episode 247

Eleven B has been a pizza mainstay in the East Village for 18 years. But owner Vincent Sgarlato has been in the business since he was eight years old. Vincent reached out to us wanting to share his story with the pizza community.

His early start began in his family’s pizzerias in Brooklyn. As the business grew, the family expanded into malls. Vincent shares how that time was pivotal for him to learn the business. Find out how that road led him to open his own pizzerias.

We talk about Eleven B’s success and Vincent’s approach to the business and his passion for the industry. Eleven B has both a full-serve restaurant and an express pizza shop. Vincent details how he looks to expand the express side of the business.
