Real Life with Lee in South Florida 24/7-365

Can family traditions and community spirit fuel a thriving business for decades? Join me, Lee Aloni, as I sit down with Stephen Suriani, the heart and soul behind Antonio's Pizza, to uncover the journey of this beloved family-owned restaurant that has become a culinary gem in Hollywood and Dania, Florida. Stephen shares the heartfelt history of how his parents started Antonio's in 1978, nurturing it from a small pizzeria into a multiple-location success story. We reflect on the deep family connections that have sustained Antonio's, celebrate South Florida's rich cultural scene, and even reminisce about our own family histories.

From the secret behind Antonio's mouth-watering dishes to their innovative holiday specials, Stephen reveals the importance of high-quality ingredients and culinary creativity. We discuss the impact of pizza aficionado David Portnoy from Barstool Sports and dive into the fascinating overlap of Italian and Jewish cultural traditions in Southern Italy. Stephen also gives us a glimpse of what’s on the horizon for Antonio's, sharing exciting expansion plans and potential new ventures. This episode is a tribute to the values of family, community, and the joy of good food, all wrapped up with some delightful anecdotes and a touch of humor.
