As many of you know Apizza Grande East Haven has closed its doors and is now Nicky’s Place. It is with a heavy heart that we come back to post that the owner of Apizza Grande Frederick Nuzzo has passed away. Many of you may know Rick as the loud yelling Pizza shop owner but his employees were well aware that his yelling and screaming was out of love. ( if you work I’m a kitchen you get it) Grand Apizza was started by Rick’s father on Grand Ave back in 1955.Rick lived for keeping his fathers name and legacy alive. After selling the East haven locations customers can still enjoy his family recipes at the Deep River and Bethany locations. We hope all of our former East Haven customers will remember him and that the other two locations will beloved for years to come. Let us not forget Rick as well as his family’s lmpact on New Haven Apizza. Long live Apizza Grande!!!
