In this episode, we sit down with Peter Falzo, the passionate owner of Vinnie’s Pan Pizza — a beloved pizza spot with locations in Millburn and Brielle, New Jersey.

Peter’s story begins in the kitchen of his Uncle Vinnie’s legendary pizzeria, Cammarata’s in Livingston, where he learned not only how to craft the perfect pizza but also the values of hard work, family, and perseverance. Inspired by his uncle’s influence, Peter set out to honor his legacy through Vinnie’s ’s — a name that carries both heart and history.

From launching small businesses at a young age to running his own restaurant, Peter’s in Millburn, Peter’s entrepreneurial spirit has always driven him forward. When life and business challenges — including the pandemic — forced him to pivot, he rediscovered what truly mattered: keeping things simple, staying authentic, and creating something meaningful.

Today, Vinnie’s Pan Pizza has become a sensation, known for its signature crispy pan-style bar pies, caramelized cheese crust, and those irresistible shredded “roni” cups. And Peter’s not stopping there — with his second location in Brielle and an unstoppable inner drive, he’s proof that passion and perseverance are the key ingredients to lasting success.

Join us as Peter shares how honoring the past can fuel your future, why simplicity often leads to greatness, and what it really takes to build a business rooted in family, flavor, and heart
