About Us
The Cerimele family’s start in the food business goes back to the 1950’s in the New Columbus section of Nesquehoning, PA. Currently owned & operated by Tony Cerimele & his family, it was originally started by his grandparents Michael and Mayme… later to be followed by his Uncle Michael (Schmick), with enormous help from his parents Fred and Marquerite. Although catering flourished and was originally their main business, pizza surprisingly became what the Cerimele family would be known for. Tony’s grandmother Mayme began making pizza for his uncles, and instead of eating it, they would take it and sell it at local fire halls and clubs. And so, it began… Pizza would then be sold every Friday and special occasion for the next 60 years to the present day.
Today, the family’s recipes live on through Tony. He offers specialty pizza, signature family favorites, and an expanded mobile wood fired pizza catering option. There is no mistaking his light as air crust, secret cheese blend, and 60-year-old sauce recipe. But Tony didn’t stop there. His quest for making the best pizza he can led him to becoming a certified Pizzaiolo from The International School of Pizza in San Francisco by friend and mentor Tony Gemignani. The culmination of his hard work and dedication to the craft garnered him a spot on The World Pizza Champions, a true highlight of his professional career. The WPC team travels the world competing in competitions, advancing the profession to new heights, and focuses on giving back to the communities in which they serve.
