Episode 46 - Family, Pizza & The Famous Thinny Thin – The Angeloni’s Story with Nick & Michael Conforti
Episode description
In this episode, we sit down with Nick and Michael Conforti, the incredible brothers behind Angeloni’s Pizzeria & Restaurant in Caldwell, NJ—home of the legendary "Thinny Thin" pizza. Growing up in Bloomfield, NJ, as two of four siblings, family has always been their foundation. Their journey began in Nutley, NJ, with Michael’s Pizza, but it was their mom’s homemade ultra-thin pizza recipe that became the inspiration for their signature Thinny Thin.
Nick and Michael aren’t just masters of their craft—they’re two of the nicest, most genuine guys you’ll ever meet, radiating warmth and incredible energy. Their love for food, family, and community is contagious, and it extends to their staff, who are truly like family. In this conversation, they share their passion for making people happy, the challenges of running a family business, and the unforgettable experience of receiving an 8.8 pizza review from Barstool’s Dave Portnoy. They also open up about navigating the pandemic, building a restaurant that feels like home, and why Angeloni’s is more than just a place to eat—it’s a place to belong.
If you love great food, inspiring family stories, and an inside look at what makes a restaurant truly special, this episode is a must-listen!
