Today we’d like to introduce you to Edgar Nello.
Edgar, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Nello’s Pizza Miami was born in January 2022. My wife and I, with over 9 years of combined experience in the restaurant and catering biz, started our journey back in 2015. Learning the ropes from Italians, we fell for the magic of fresh ingredients and the art of pizza and pasta.
Fast forward to now, we’ve been serving up artisanal wood-fired pizza and Italian catering in Miami-Dade, FL, and nearby areas for about 2 and a half years. The support from the community has been fantastic. From a few markets and events initially, we now rock around 4 events every weekend. Our customers adore our pizza, and we cherish them right back.
At Nello’s Pizza Miami, it’s all about the artisanal flavors. As a famous pizza maker once said, “You get out what you put in.” That’s why we’re all about quality ingredients, cooked to perfection in our wood-fired oven, delivering that unique, artisanal taste in every bite.
With our growth over the past year, we’re thrilled to announce our Pasta Service for Catering. We took our time because we wanted it to be perfect. Our promise? Only the highest quality ingredients and service that goes above and beyond.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Well, to be honest, it hasn’t been a smooth ride, especially here in Miami. One of the biggest struggles, as I’m sure many can relate, is finances. Starting a business is a dream for many, but the reality is, not everyone has the financial backing to make it happen. Then there’s the maze of permits. It seems like you need a permit for everything, and navigating through that bureaucracy can be a challenge in itself.
And let’s not forget about the fees – they seem to pop up everywhere, from credit card processing fees to state charges. Despite these obstacles, facing them has been part of the excitement of our journey. We’re grateful for how far we’ve come and thankful for the opportunity to overcome these challenges.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Well, at Nello’s Pizza Miami, we’re all about putting our own spin on traditional Italian cuisine. We’ve learned from the best Italian tutors, but we’re not afraid to get creative and find our own style. Take, for example, our latest creation – the Official Nello’s Pizza. It’s a reimagining of classic Italian ingredients, infused with our signature flair.
We’ve incorporated our colors, green and white (aka Bianco Verde), resulting in a deliciously creamy pizza that’s been a hit at all our recent parties. We’re proud to bring something unique to the table, setting us apart from the crowd.
Any big plans?
Looking ahead, we’ve got plenty of plans in the works. God willing, our aim is to secure a physical location in the city where we can better serve our customers. It’s been a dream of ours to have a dedicated spot where folks can come and enjoy our pizzas in a cozy setting. This step forward represents a big leap for us and we’re thrilled about the prospect. We’re excited to see how this unfolds and to continue serving our community with our delicious creations.
