Lia's Pizzeria Opens in East Meadow

The eatery is located in the former PieSanos building at 2330 Hempstead Turnpike.

A new business has opened on East Meadow's busiest road.

Lia's Pizzeria, located at 2330 Hempstead Turnpike in the Meadowbrook Shopping Center, celebrated its opening day on Monday.

"It feels great to be open,"  Jack DiSalvo, owner of the franchise said.

The eatery opened in the former PieSanos space that closed in June. It sits between Uncle Giuseppe's Italian Market and Cheaper Peepers.

DiSlavo owns three other locations of the restaurant in Franklin Square, Syosset and Oceanside.

Along with a variety of pizzas, the franchise serves an array of traditional Italian dishes.

During lunch hour, DiSalvo watched as people came in and ordered food.

"It's the first day and it has been good," he said. "We want to see more people coming in."
