Dario’s packs its new Massapequa Park pizzeria on opening day

By Greater Long Island October 31, 2026 2 min read

Dario’s Pizza opened its second location in Massapequa Park on Friday, filling the restaurant within minutes of its 11 a.m. opening.

“It feels great to see the store packed out today. We hope it lasts!” owner Dario Carosi told Greater Long Island.

“I couldn’t go out to dinner without someone coming up to me and saying, ‘Dario! When are you opening Massapequa?’” he said with a smile.

Known for its Roman-style pies and a Philly cheesesteak that has gone viral, Dario’s is in the Southgate Shopping Center at 4952 Merrick Road, across from Massapequa High School.

The new restaurant serves the same menu as the original on Nassau Boulevard in West Hempstead. That includes what Carosi calls his most popular specialty slice: the Diavola, topped with spicy Italian soppressata, burrata and hot honey.

“Our regular slice is strong too — it’s just not the same as you find in other places,” Carosi said.
