Our Story
From humble beginnings to a Lowell pizza tradition
A Legacy That Started In 1962
Espresso Pizza opened its doors in 1962 as part of a three-location chain founded by the Ferrara family. The shops were in Lowell, Fitchburg, and Nashua. By 1964, the family decided to keep just two, with each brother taking one. The Lowell location stood strong, building a name known for good pizza and friendly service at 220 Central St in Lowell, MA. It quickly became a go-to pizza spot for families and friends in the area.
From Brazil To The Pizza Oven
In 1969, Frank and Lee Carvalho moved from Brazil to the United States. One year later, they started working at Espresso Pizza. They began with small tasks, worked hard, and learned the pizza trade step by step. By 1989, they bought the restaurant from the original owners. Their journey from helpers to owners shows the heart behind the business and the care that goes into every pizza made.
Keeping The Original Recipe Alive
Espresso Pizza still uses the same sauce and dough recipe from day one. That recipe is what sets the pizza apart from others in Lowell. Customers keep coming back for the same flavor they remember from years ago. It’s simple, honest pizza that’s made fresh every day. With dine-in, takeout, delivery, reservations, and catering, it’s easy for anyone to enjoy a slice anytime they want.
