Holiday Pizza Rustica + Struffoli Combo

Enjoy a taste of the holidays with Artuso’s Pizza Rustica, a traditional Italian meat pie with fresh smoked mozzarella, prosciutto, grated cheese and parsley. It’s paired with Struffoli – also known as Honey Balls – a traditional Neapolitan treat. The sweet dough is fashioned into marble-sized balls, then deep-fried to delightfully crispy perfection.

Back in 1930, 11 year-old Vincent Artuso emigrated from Italy to The Bronx, settling in the Belmont neighborhood’s Little Italy, which is today lovingly referred to as simply Arthur Avenue. As a teenager, Vincent trained as a pastry chef at a bakery on East 187th Street. After returning from World War II, he purchased the bakery, and Artuso Pastry Shop was born. With his siblings and wife Betty by his side, Vincent grew his shop into one of The Bronx’s most beloved Italian bakeries, more than tripling in size over the years. The Artuso family continues to run the bakery to this day, which has become an indispensable Arthur Avenue landmark – so much so that the block it’s on was officially renamed Vincent F. Artuso, Sr. Way in 1996.
