Master Pizza: Fresh, Fast & Delicious

By Christine S. Maxwell

Frank Castronovo grew up in the restaurant business. As the son of restaurateurs, Frank learned to cook all types of Italian food, but he knew there was something special about pizza. What better way to celebrate a special occasion than with a pizza? So in 1990, Frank jumped at the chance to buy Master Pizza. Frank’s wife, Marylee, later joined the business, creating another successful family enterprise.

For more than 33 years, Master Pizza has been an esteemed community partner. “We have had great customers over the years, and for that reason, we like to give back to the community,” says Marylee. Master Pizza offers rewards programs and periodic contests such as Create Your Own Pizza. In addition, they support numerous community fundraisers for the Little League, school districts, and other non-profit groups and sponsor appreciation days for nurses and teachers. On June 24, they will be the pizza sponsor at Turtle Back Zoo’s ‘Brew at the Zoo’ event.

Master Pizza is known for keeping its menu fresh and varied, using only the finest quality ingredients. Daily specialty pizzas and pizzas of the month are part of the menu. The restaurant also honors national pizza days with exclusive discounts, including National Pizza Party Day on May 19, Margarita Pizza Day on June 11, and National Pepperoni Day on September 20.

With the flagship store in Livingston, Master Pizza has expanded over the years to include three more locations in Union, West Orange, and Carlstadt. All four shops serve the same extensive menu that includes: pizzas galore, cold subs, fresh salads, wings, hot appetizers, traditional Italian entrees and pasta dishes, as well as delicious desserts.

Master Pizza is open daily to serve the needs of its clients: Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm; Friday and Saturday 11am11pm; and Sunday 12-10pm. Because the restaurant is primarily take-out, Master Pizza offers quick and convenient ways to order. They offer online ordering, a text-to-order system, orders by phone, and fast, efficient, and free delivery service within a three-mile radius. Master Pizza provides catering selections and delivery for events, too.
