1990 – The American Dream

How does anyone envision this dream? It has often been said that an American story is based on inventions and introduction of new products and that’s exactly where Osvaldo placed his dreams and efforts when he was given this opportunity at the tender age of 15.

Osvaldo came to the USA in 1990 and can’t forget that he was welcomed to work by a wonderful man named Vincenzo Coppola, an Italian citizen born in Napoli, who taught him the best Italian secrets to create the best Pizza.

1997 – 2001 The creative years

Osvaldo Garcia strove towards the American Dream promise of a better life for himself, and his family, by not only sacrificing his youth, but also by applying himself to learn the business from a man that was more like a father.

Creativity was on Osvaldo’s mind when in 2001 he created and introduced the “Buffalo Wing Pizza” as well as the “Grilled Chicken Cesar Pizza” and “Taco Pizza”

Osvaldo started his “Pizza life”in 1997 working along (and alone) with Mr. Coppola. He participated in the opening of PIZZA VILLAGE CAFÉ

2012 Pizza Village Cafe III

It was time to take the Pizza Village Cafe to new heights. We opened up the new location around the Linden area and were breathless when they opened up to great reviews.

We chose to focus and hone our commitment to quality and freshness, and it has always served us well.

The location in Linden is undergoing demolition and Pizza Village Cafe III new location is 3062 S Wood Ave, Linden NJ 07036 is going through renovation and expected to be fully functional in August 2021.

What our customers are saying

Some of the best and brightest have sat down to eat with us.

Out of towner just trying to find something open and stumbled across this gem! I ordered a medium supreme pizza which turned out to extra large compared to chain restaurants. Excellent pizza!

Their Italian food is, in my opinion, the most delicious in the city. The menu is extensive and offers pasta, pizza, meat, and seafood dishes. Very friendly and efficient staff that provide top-notch service. Great decor, great atmosphere, and appeals to couples and families.

Heavenly pizza 😇🤤 I was not expecting to find my favorite pizza place when I walked into this little hole in the wall joint but when I took that first bite I had to stop and write a review. I will now add this to my stop every time I’m in town, the pizza was hot out of the stone oven, so thin yet crispy and amazing. 10/10 will be a returning customer.
