John’s Best Pizza originated in New York City in the late 1960s.  Recognizing pizza and Neapolitan food as a fun and highly profitable business venture, they first opened their doors to the public in the Bronx and were welcomed with open arms.  Soon thereafter the business spread with restaurants popping up in and around the city.  At its peak John’s Best had seven popular pizzerias.  Now, after some of John’s Best Pizzas were bought and sold, four still remain in the city.  Eventually John’s spread north and found itself in a plaza in Brookfield.  That’s when Libero Pugliese took over the business.
