In 1928, in New Haven, Connecticut, a gentleman named Mr. Compasano was selling fried bread dough with sauce on it on the street out of a van. One year later, Frank Pepe opened the first restaurant serving cooked bread dough with sauce and mozzarella cheese. These two gentlemen have the distinction of being the originators of the American "APIZZA"(Apizza, pronounced Ah Pizza is an italian terminology meaning 'a pizza'). In 1939, Anthony Tolli moved this operation to East Haven, Connecticut.

In May of 1958, Anthony became a sponsor for his nephew Carmine Peluso and his family, who were living in Naples, Italy and desired to travel to America. Carmine worked with his Uncle Pepe Marzullo in the pastry business in the morning, and with his uncle Anthony Tolli at night.

In 1962, Camine Peluso bought "Tolli Apizza" and began the Peluso reign in the pizza industry. Carmine combined his experience with pastries and knowledge of American pizza and created the delicious pizza crust that can be enjoyed by Peluso’s Apizza customers today.

Whether on the East Coast (Tolli's Apizza), or on the West Coast (Peluso's Apizza), you can now enjoy a traditional apizza, coast to coast!
