End of an Era: Romas Family Sells ‘New Canaan Pizza’

New Canaan Pizza, owned for more than 40 years by the same family, has been sold and will undergo a renovation, those associated with the downtown restaurant confirmed. Closed since Sunday for an extensive renovation, the Greek-style pizza place at 53 East Ave. is to be reopened as New Canaan Pizza & Taqueria and will use the same ovens to continue serving up its signature pie, according to Tommy Romas, a familiar face behind the counter who owns the business with sister and brother-in-law. The sale marks the end of an era in New Canaan. “We appreciate everybody’s business and we are going to miss everybody,” Romas told NewCanaanite.com. 

“We are sorry that we did not officially announce it [the sale] at the time of the closing, but that was because of a management agreement.
