"A Family Tradition Since 1970"

Schiano’s Pizzeria holds the distinction of being the very first pizzeria in Bayville, NJ., which was owned and operated by Mr. Schiano. In 1970, Mr. Schiano decided to sell the restaurant. Our nonno and nonna (Sal & Anna Lubrano) had moved to Bayville after running their own pizzeria/restaurant in North Jersey, and fell in love with the town and the community. Keeping the name Schiano’s out of respect for the prior owner,  Sal & Anna bought the restaurant and, along with their children and grandchildren, are still going strong! That’s why we call Schiano’s of Bayville our “Family Tradition Since 1970.”

Schiano’s is our family's pride and joy! Not only have Sal and Anna watched their own children and grandchildren grow up and work in the restaurant, they’ve gotten to know many generations of families having served them throughout the years too. These customers and their families are more like friends. Many of them joke and say Sal has been around so long, he should be the next Bayville dinosaur!

We’ve had a front row seat to many changes in Bayville: to its businesses, buildings, technology, and people. Throughout all of these changes, our family has been here to witness it all, and proudly serve the community. 

We owe it all to our loyal customers and the community as a whole. Whether it was holding our ground during the great recession of 2008, surviving Hurricane Sandy (we were the only restaurant open during that time), or successfully adapting to doing business during the pandemic, we are grateful for our loyal customers and proud to serve them whenever they need us. By supporting each other, we weathered each storm!

This is why giving back to our community is so important to us. Over the years we have supported different events and charitable efforts to benefit schools, churches and organizations in the area…and even our community’s furry friends!

So, yes…we are proud to be one of the remaining family-owned Italian restaurants in Ocean County! We use only the finest ingredients to make the freshest food for our customers—who deserve only the best! We will never sacrifice quality over quantity, and always make each entree to order. Our 4+ star rating on Google over the decades reflects this, but nothing means more to us than a smile from a satisfied customer.
