House of Pizza & Calzones, located in South Brooklyn, was established in 1952 and originally named Simone's after its first owner. Following a change in ownership due to a gambling debt, the pizzeria was renamed by its new owners, Giovanni and Onofrio, who hailed from the coastal Italian town of Mola di Bari.

Renowned for its signature deep-fried calzones, the House of Pizza & Calzones has become a beloved local establishment, serving a variety of Italian cuisine including pizzas, calzones, and sandwiches. The eatery reflects a rich history and commitment to quality that has endured for decades in the Brooklyn community.
