Segesta Pizza: Serving Up Slices of Levittown Pride

Segesta Pizza opened its doors in 1984 and has since come to be a staple in the Levittown area. The restaurant, located at 303 Wantagh Avenue, boasts true pride in the community it calls home.

On the side of the building customers can find paintings of some of Levittown's idols, like Donnie Klang and Kevin Covais, and through the years, Segesta Pizza has sponsored several local athletic teams. Owner Stephen Varriccio also honors the Levittown Chamber of Commerce's Veterans Recognition Program, where veterans receive a 10 percent discount.

Although Segesta Pizza has grown with the Levittown community, the family owned eatery attracts customers from neighboring towns like Wantagh, Bethpage and Plainedge. Their one-of-a-kind recipes keep customers constantly coming back for more.

The restaurant is small but can accommodate patrons who are looking to sit down for a meal or pick something up on the way home. The dining room is filled with small tables and large booths, along with a few televisions hanging in each corner.

With each meal, customers are given a large selection of drinks including fountain sodas, bottled water, soft drinks, juices, wine and beer (domestic $2, imported $4). 

For starters, the menu offers classic appetizers such as cheese fries (small $3.99, large $4.99) or garlic knots (12 for $2.95). More filling choices, like the baked clams ($7.99) or deep fried ravioli ($6.99) are popular picks when dining in. Traditional soups and salads are also available.

A variety of pizza pies are usually what customers order for pick up, such as the common cheese or pepperoni pie, or speciality choices like buffalo chicken, bacon chicken ranch or white pizza (no sauce, garlic crust). All specialty pies range from $13.95 to $21.95, depending on the toppings.

Segesta Pizza also has large entree platters from eggplant or veal to chicken or seafood. Philly cheese steaks are also available, along with heros and wraps.  In addition to regular lunch and dinner options, Segesta Pizza can cater to parties of any size.
