"A pizza without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze!" - Gaetano Gambino
Gaetano Gambino
For over 40 years, Gaetano Gambino shared his love of food with loyal fans across Miami. Many locals remember this witty and spirited Italian from his days at Cozzoli’s Pizza in Dadeland Mall — especially after Hurricane Andrew, when Cozzoli’s was one of the few places open, offering comfort and a sense of normalcy in the middle of chaos.
Like most Italians, Gaetano loved to feed people. He poured his heart and soul into every dish, taking pride in his homemade sauces, fresh ingredients, and old-world recipes. Whether kneading dough or perfecting his secret sauce, Gaetano believed food should be made with care — and shared with joy.
Gaetano may no longer be with us, but his spirit lives on in every slice, every calzone, and every garlic roll. We remain committed to honoring his traditions, using the same recipes and passion that made his food unforgettable. His legacy continues — in our kitchen, and in the smiles of those who enjoy the food he loved to make.
Our Story
For more than four decades, Gaetano Gambino shared his love of Italian food with Miami. Locals remember his quick wit, generous spirit, and the way a simple slice could bring people together — especially after Hurricane Andrew, when his team kept the ovens hot and the doors open to offer comfort during a chaotic time.
Gaetano believed great food starts with care: homemade sauces, fresh ingredients, and old-world recipes passed down and perfected. Though Gaetano is no longer with us, his passion lives on in our kitchen — and in every smile across the counter.
