Our story

The story of Johnny Napkins begins with family. The restaurant’s name comes from the affectionate nickname of owner’s father, a nod to both tradition and the playful personality that defines the brand. Building on the foundation of Mario’s Tutto Bene, a Union favorite for decades, Johnny Napkins continues to celebrate community, food, and family gatherings. At its core, Johnny Napkins is more than a pizzeria; it’s a place where classics meet creativity. Specialty pies like the Brooklyn Pie (upside-down style) and Penne Vodka Pizza stand alongside timeless Italian-American staples like Chicken Parm, Penne Vodka, and Cheesy Garlic Bread. Every dish is crafted with care, balancing flavor, tradition, and a little bit of trend-setting flair.

We take pride in being a true neighborhood restaurant, offering not just great food but also warm hospitality and a fun, inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re dining in, ordering takeout, or hosting friends and family, our mission is to make every meal memorable. From our family to yours, Johnny Napkins is about celebrating life’s simple pleasures—pizza, pasta, parm, and plenty of laughs along the way.
