Avon Pizzeria Earns National Recognition

AVON, CT — Avon-based E&D Pizza Company has been featured on the cover of the October issue of PMQ Pizza Magazine.

The magazine is the #1 business publication for the pizza restaurant industry and is mailed to over 40,000 operators in the U.S. monthly, according to a statement from E&D.

Owner Michael Androw speaks in the article about how the restaurant doesn't just provide great pizza, but is also focused on offering family fun. In fact, the restaurant is named after his sons Enzo, 9, and Dario, 6.

"As parents, who do we appreciate the most? It’s the people that do stuff for our children,” Androw said in the article.

Androw gained several decades of experience working in all aspects of the restaurant industry before opening E&D. When he opened the restaurant five years ago, it started with a focus on carryout, but soon expanded as demand increased.

Since then E&D has earned numerous accolades. It edged out New Haven legend Frank Pepe's for having the best pizza in the state in Hartford Magazine. The pizzeria has also made best of lists in The Hartford Courant and Connecticut Magazine.

E&D Pizza Company is a local, family owned restaurant focused on combining traditional Italian pizza making with the freshest ingredients available to produce award winning pies that are both loved and awarded regionally, according to the company's statement.
