History
editThe Miglucci family still runs the restaurant after first opening in 1919. In the 1930s, they expanded by becoming a full service restaurant.[1]
Scolastica Migliucci and her son Giuseppe, Italian immigrants, opened a pizzeria in Lower Manhattan[3] but opened G. Migliucci Vera Pizzeria in the Bronx in 1919 with six tables.[4] Another source says they opened on Harlem’s 114th Street in 1915.[5]
In popular culture
editThe Sopranos (season 4) filmed an episode here which was described by The Guardian as "more valuable than a Michelin star".[6]
