Ferraro Foods, one of the country’s largest specialty distributors of food and foodservice supplies to pizzerias and Italian restaurants, is celebrating the grand opening of its 230,000 square-foot distribution center, the biggest of its kind on Long Island, the company’s newest facility which significantly expands its presence in the world’s largest, most concentrated pizza market.
After more than 35 years on Long Island, which is home to more independent pizzerias than any place in America, Ferraro is moving into a newly renovated facility and more than doubling its presence in the country’s most important market for pizza and Italian eateries. The expansion represents a major economic investment on Long Island and further solidifies its position as a leading distributor of specialty food and foodservice supplies.
To celebrate this monumental next step in its business, Ferraro invited half a dozen local customers who use its products in their restaurants to attend a grand opening ceremony.
