A new pizza place in Ellsworth that opened just over two weeks ago has been so busy, they’re going through nearly 400 pounds of pizza dough a day. Zeppa’s New York Pizza on Water Street is the latest family owned small business to open in Ellsworth. Hugh and Lisa Palcic bought the building in January and completely renovated it.

Their daughter, Riley, is the head chef. Many of the recipes date back to when Lisa’s grandparents moved to the United States from Italy decades ago including Zeppa’s cannoli recipe which dates back close to 60 years.
