“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 to create an experience that feels warm, intentional, and welcoming — the kind that makes people feel known and connected.
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 us, encouraged us, and helped make this dream come true — thank you. 242 Pizza is more than a name. It is our heart, our community, and our table made bigger.
Our dough is made fresh every day using a slow cold-fermentation process that develops complex flavor and creates the light, airy crust Neapolitan pizza is known for.
We use the ingredients that matter most: San Marzano tomatoes — grown in volcanic soil near Naples and considered the finest pizza tomato in the world — the finest Italian flour for our dough, and fresh fior di latte mozzarella. No substitutions, no shortcuts.
We arrive fully equipped, set up, and cook fresh pizzas on-site for your guests. Simple, focused, and exactly what you need — great pizza, made to order.
We work directly with you to plan every detail. Flexible scheduling, open communication, and a personal touch that makes every event feel right.
