About THE DON
Andrew bellucci
Chef, Andrew Bellucci’s Pizzeria
Chef Andrew Bellucci has been making Pizza for over 30 Years. He tragically died in his eponymous pizzeria on May 31, 2023 from a sudden heart attack while making pizza for guests. While Classically French-trained, he was most known for reopening the famous coal-fired Lombardi's (NYC's oldest Pizzeria) as well as stints at Joe's Pizza, Two Boots Pizza, Rubi Rosa's, Bellucci Pizza and finally Andrew Bellucci's Pizzeria.
Committed to using only the highest grade ingredients, Andrew put all his attention and LOVE into creating unforgettable food! As if that wasn’t impressive enough, Andrew was also the creator of the Legendary Fresh Shucked Clam Pie, that the NY Times labeled "Life-Changing!" He’s now crowned as the “Don of Dough!”
