Briefly: I Ragazzi Pizza in Cape Coral, Florida, is a family and community oriented New Jersey style pizzeria. Experience our delicious fresh, traditional Italian cuisine and pizza.
Why we're different: In addition to fresh ingredients and authentic cuisine, we offer great value with family specials, coupon savings, and even our own I Ragazzi Stimulus Package Deals!
Our customers say:
"We're from the North so we know the real deal. We've tried almost all of them and I Ragazzi is our favorite."
"Great food and good people - I Ragazzi's the best!"
I Ragazzi - The restaurant is named for the Italian term “the boys”. Once the "boys", Tim Luke and Rene Roman met and decided to go into business together, it didn’t take long to find a spot. They took over the defunct New York Pizza, and within a matter of weeks, renovated the space and developed their unique menu.
Word spread quickly that the Pizzeria on Hancock Bridge Parkway has a big taste. Luke and Roman have their sights set on something bigger. Both have owned restaurants in the past and would like to own a dinner place again, but for now are content to connect with their cusotmers, one slice at a time.
Community is a big part of the boys philosophy...
"We are involved with helping our community. We are activite supporters of several Lee County Schools. Also, we sponser Upward Basketball for New Hope Baptist Church."
Tim and Rene have also taken part in benefit such as Saturn Car Cruise Cancer Benefit 2009, Cape Coral Community Bank Cancer Benefit Walk-A-Thon, Cape Fear Baseball 2008, Cape Coral Police Department, and now the Great FMN Pizza Poll to support the Feed the Cape program. They hope to expand, to continue being a part of our great southwest Florida area and hope to help more with worthy causes.
