New York City is a long way from Southwest Florida, but if you step into Grandpa’s Pizza in Bonita Springs, you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of the city that never sleeps.
If you ask anyone from New York, you’ll never find any pizza quite like New York style pizza. As a Southwest Florida native, I never knew what NY style pizza was until I met Sean. Unbeknownst to me until recently, it’s really hard to find a true piece of NY style pizza anywhere in Southwest Florida. And those that DO look for it will drive miles for a good slice.
And that’s where we introduce Grandpa’s Pizza in Bonita Springs.
Grandpa’s Pizza is a tiny pizzeria located on Old 41 in Downtown Bonita Springs. You wouldn’t know it from looking at the outside, but the pizza is incredible. There’s no inside seating, but you will find a couple of tables outside.
We assume that it’s the owners who are always working there. Walk in on any day of the week (except Sundays when they are closed) and you’ll see the same 3 people. After speaking to the owner, he’s from Long Island and then from Italy before that.

We’ve tried a few other types of pizzas and they were all great, but these are the ones that stand out the most.
How to Order Grandpa’s Pizza
It’s important to note that this pizzeria in Bonita is cash-only. If you call to place an order and go to pick it up, make sure to bring cash with you. There’s an ATM inside as well.
They are also a part of the Slice network, where you can order online or on their app. We’ve used this several times (we’re terrible about keeping cash on us) and the process is seamless. But if you do this, make sure you tip generously as Slice likely takes a cut of the orders that come in.
