Serving the Summit community for generations
Zappia's has been feeding Summit, New Jersey since 1985 — a family-owned deli, brick oven pizzeria, and catering operation that became a neighborhood staple one meal at a time.
Zappia's | Our Story
A Neighborhood Institution Since '85
Zappia's opened in Summit as a no-frills deli in 1985. Four decades later, it's still family-owned, still on Beechwood Road, still the place people reach for first.
More Than a Deli
Over the years, Zappia's grew into a brick oven pizzeria, a hot dinner kitchen, and a full-service caterer. The grandma pie — crispy-bottomed, sauce on top, square-cut — is the dish regulars swear by.
The People Behind the Counter
Staff like Nick know your name and your usual order — not from a script, but because that's just how things work here. It's the kind of familiarity that turns a lunch spot into a standing habit.
Catering Summit's Big Moments
Families and businesses across Summit have trusted Zappia's with their most important gatherings — birthdays, holidays, office lunches, and tailgates. Every tray arrives the way it should.
Still Here, Still Going
In a town where neighbors talk, a restaurant doesn't last four decades on anything less than the real thing. Zappia's was named the top pizza in Summit by the 2025 Quality Business Awards — but the regulars already knew that.
