History

The Miglucci family still runs the restaurant after first opening in 1919. In the 1930s, they expanded by becoming a full service restaurant. [1]

Scolastica Migliucci and her son Giuseppe, Italian immigrants, opened a pizzeria in Lower Manhattan [3] but opened G. Migliucci Vera Pizzeria in the Bronx in 1919 with six tables. [4] Another source says they opened on Harlem’s 114th Street in 1915. [5]

The Sopranos (season 4) filmed an episode here which was described by The Guardian as "more valuable than a Michelin star". [6]
