History

Joe's was founded in 1975 by Pino "Joe" Pozzuoli, an Italian immigrant originally from Naples, Italy. Joe's Pizza is considered a classic by the slice pizza and a favorite among tourists.[4] The restaurant briefly closed in 2005, but has since reopened.[1]

Joe's Pizza appears in the 2001 video game Grand Theft Auto III as it is located in two different areas of the game. However, both of the pizza parlors are inaccessible to the player. The pizza parlor appears once again in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and it remains inaccessible to the player but you can start a side mission in-game titled "Pizza Boy".

In the 2004 film, Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker is working at Joe's Pizza as a delivery boy, but is fired due to his constant tardiness and excessive delivery mishaps. The pizzeria has gained notability since its appearance in the movie, and several of its New York locations tout its appearance in the film.[5]

In 2022, Joe's Pizza made its Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in a commercial for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in the form of a food truck. Like Spider-Man 2, Sam Raimi also directed the film.[6]
