Umberto’s, the legendary pizzeria founded in 1965 in New Hyde Park by brothers Umberto and Joe Corteo, has opened a location in Plainview, in the same shopping center as Fairway. The restaurant, which takes over the location of Caruso’s Pizza, opened on July 5 and has both a takeout operation and a dining room. On the menu: pizza, pasta, pannini, salads, soups, heros and Italian specialties.
That makes five locations of Umberto’s: the original in New Hyde Park, Wantagh, Garden City, Bellmore and Plainview. (The Umberto’s at 737 West Jericho Tpke. in Huntington is not affiliated with the group.)
