The Full Story
OUR STORY
Long Bridge Pizza was started by Neal DeNardi and Andrew Markoulis, two long-time friends who were born and raised in the SF Bay Area.
Named after the wooden bridge that connected downtown San Francisco to the industrial Dogpatch and Hunter's Point in the 1860s, Long Bridge Pizza was designed with one goal in mind: A place where we want to go to feel that we are a part of something much bigger than ourselves.
Built on the concept of community, we created a place where we could host our community members to spend time with their friends and family, a space that we can also enjoy with our own friends and family
By crafting our own unique Sourdough style pizza, we created our own love letter to the city that we hold so dear. Food connects people from all walks of life, and we believe pizza is approachable to everyone which makes it the best food for gathering
BIO
Neal DeNardi (L) - Co-Owner
Born and raised in South San Francisco, Neal took part in Scott's Pizza Tour in New York after graduating from college, where he learned about pizza's history and cultural significance. Bitten by the pizza bug, Neal spent many nights researching, and tasting, all of the pizzerias in the Bay Area, which led him to learning the craft of pizza from some of San Francisco's best institutions: Pizza Hacker, Tony's Pizza Napoletana, Del Popolo, A16. Neal learned invaluable pizza knowledge , but the most important takeaway from his tenure at these places was: The enjoyment of creating memorable experiences for other people.
Andrew Markoulis (R) - Co-Owner
Born and raised in Hillsborough, Andrew's fondest childhood memories revolve around his time in the kitchen, watching and eventually helping his mother and grandmother cook. Because of this experience, Andrew learned, at an early age, that food had an amazing power in bringing people together, to share stories and strengthening bonds, which he took with him when departing for college. The feeling and comforting connection that food gives to Andrew led him to pursue a professional cooking career that began in Tahoe City and Washington, D.C., learning the craft of wood-fired pizzas from powerhouse restaurants: Graffiato and Ardeo Bardeo
