About 242 Pizza

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”Acts 2:42

Our name comes from Acts 2:42, a verse centered on faith, fellowship, and the breaking of bread. It reflects the heart behind our business: hospitality, authenticity, quality, and a deep love for serving our community.

We are a family-owned pizza business serving made-to-order Neapolitan pizzas across the Tampa Bay area. Our hope is that every visit feels warm and personal.

You'll find us every Thursday through Sunday at our home base: Bearss Groves, the historic farm stand at 14316 Lake Magdalene Blvd that has been part of the Carrollwood community in North Tampa for over a century. A farm stand that has fed this neighborhood for generations felt like the right home for us.

With years of experience crafting pizzas in some of New York City’s most well-known pizzerias, we bring a deep respect for tradition and attention to detail. We love Neapolitan pizza for its authenticity, simplicity, and timeless flavors, while adding our own thoughtful twist through carefully chosen ingredients and partnerships with small businesses and local vendors.

To everyone who has supported and encouraged us: thank you. This has been our dream for a long time, and we are grateful to share it with you.
