Brothers Pizza
hen Brooklynite Antonino Mazzola spotted the Midland Park Shopping Center 40 years ago, he knew it would be the perfect location for a new pizzeria. In 1970, he and his wife Anna opened Brothers Pizza, a hometown establishment that served meatball heroes, chicken parmesan, antipasto, lasagna, and – of course – pizza. Then, as now, patrons are welcome to dine in or pick up their orders. From the very start, Brothers was a family affair, and so it remains, although daughter Piera left five years ago to raise a family. Today, Tony’s son Anthony, daughter Vera, her husband Roberto, and grandchildren Alessandro and Antonio all serve Italian specialties to the community. For 40 years, the family has been using high quality mozzarella, and the same sauce recipe – a secret that entered the United States via the Mazzola family’s hometown of Palermo. Patrons who enjoyed Brothers food when they were young now bring their own children to sample the restaurant’s dishes. Even Brothers’ original oven is still in use, although three others have been added. While being careful to retain patrons’ best-loved recipes, the restaurant has added wraps and salads to its menu to keep up with changing tastes. Brothers serves 20 types of pasta dishes, 15 types of heroes, a variety of soups and panini, appetizers, Italian specialties, and desserts such as zeppoli and homemade cannoli. Delivery is available for an additional $2. Brothers offers catering for events of all sizes. Tell Brothers about your taste and budget and let their experts take care of the details. Corporate accounts are welcome. Brothers is located at 97 Godwin Avenue, Midland Park. Phone (201) 444-4944 or visit brotherspizzeria.com for information and coupons. Hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day except Friday, when hours are 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Phone or fax ahead for prompt service. Gift certificates are available.

Sal Lauretta for Men blends the traditional with the contemporary
al Lauretta for Men has been a pillar of fashion throughout Bergen County since 1974 and continues to develop a loyal following among patrons who appreciate meticulously tailored suits, dress shirts and pants for work or more casual gatherings. Sal Lauretta and his father, Raffaele Lauretta, co-founded Sal Lauretta for Men utilizing the fine tailoring skills they developed in Italy to custom-fit men’s suits and clothing. Since then, the store has gone through three different expansions and revitalized its brand offerings to provide a larger breadth of quality and selection. The name brands they carry - Hugo Boss, Jack Victor, Canali, and Ravazzolo, among others – have transcended through time for their classic, clean appeal while remaining relevant to current fashion trends.
