ABOUT US

Since 2016, DOUGH by Licastri, located in the Dongan Hills area of Staten Island on the corner of Richmond Road and Delaware Ave, offers the finest pizza and breads from over three generations (nearly 100 years). The late great Stephen Licastri mastered the art of dough-making spending his early years working for his families business. Licastri Bakery and the “Original Ciro’s” Pizzeria & Italian restaurant. After observing, learning and creating “Old World” dough recipes, he combined that knowledge with modern techniques to produce artisan pizza and breads to satisfy the most sophisticated palate and toughest critics. Only the finest ingredients, including an all-natural sourdough yeast starter, locally sourced wheat flour,  Fleur de Sel sea salt and of course the best water in the country for which New York is so well known, combine all of this with using a three day rise process (a labor of love). Stephen shared his love for food and knowledge to our staff to ensure that the DOUGH legacy would live on forever. From focaccia pizza to sandwiches, all our food is created fresh and made-to-order to offer the freshest and most quality taste that will leave your taste buds craving more. Our clandestine deck also offers our guests to enjoy great food and relax on beautiful spring, summer, and autumn days and candle-lit nights. We also encourage BYOB too! And as we always say, “It’s all about the DOUGH!”
