Our Story

Before Old City Pizza, there was something else. A family legacy that started generations ago in Niagara Falls and quietly made its way back to Buffalo. This is not just a new spot in the city. It is a return to something real.

Buffalo Rising

Featuring brick-oven, Neapolitan-style pizza and homemade pasta and breads crafted with premium flour imported directly from Italy. Pearl Street and RiverWorks CEO Bill Casale has long family ties to the Western New York pizza scene. His family migrated to America in 1899 from Calabria, Italy, and is well known in Niagara Falls with historic venues such as Casale’s, which operated for almost 75 years.
