About City Island Pizza Co.
City Island Pizza Co. (CIPC) is a neighborhood restaurant located at 273 City Island Avenue in the Bronx, NY, created by Rene Matos — whose career spans more than two decades across Marriott and the world of wine and spirits.
The restaurant serves coastal Italian cuisine through a Bronx lens: fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced as close to home as possible, house-made pastas, wood-fired pies, and a thoughtfully curated beverage program. The menu runs from a signature clam pie — a nod to City Island’s seafaring roots — to Sunday-supper pappardelle bolognese and standout rice balls that have earned citywide recognition.
CIPC has been recognized three consecutive years as a “Best of the Bronx” winner by the Bronx Times Readers’ Choice Awards, earning wins for Best Off-Premise Catering, Best Rice Ball, Best Soup, and Best Specialty Pizza. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday and is available for private dining and off-premise catering.
