Ridgewood Welcomes New Artisan Pizza Destination: Pizza by From Scratch

Ridgewood residents are in for a culinary treat as a new pizza concept, Pizza by From Scratch, prepares to open its doors at 192 East Ridgewood Avenue. This latest venture expands the footprint of the team behind the popular From Scratch brand, promising a fresh approach to pizza with a focus on quality, craftsmanship, and tradition.

The upcoming eatery will specialize in Roman-style pinsa, a centuries-old pizza variety known for its lighter, airier texture and carefully cultivated flavor profile. Unlike traditional pizzas, pinsa dough undergoes a long fermentation process, creating a crust that is crisp on the outside yet soft and digestible on the inside. According to the team, the dough is “carefully blended,” “hand-stretched,” and “long-fermented” for up to 72 hours, using high-hydration techniques and ancient grains sourced from Italy. Each step emphasizes artisanal methods over shortcuts, ensuring a pizza experience rooted in authenticity and taste.

In addition to pinsa, the menu will feature other handcrafted items, including stuffed focaccia and specialty toppings designed to showcase the freshness of every ingredient. The emphasis on “fresh homemade everything” underscores the restaurant’s commitment to providing Ridgewood diners with a distinct, elevated pizza experience that goes beyond typical takeout options.

Pizza by From Scratch’s opening adds to Ridgewood’s growing reputation as a destination for food lovers seeking artisanal, high-quality offerings. Its approach aligns with a broader trend of elevating traditional Italian favorites through thoughtful preparation, premium ingredients, and attention to detail. While no official opening date has been announced, anticipation is building among local residents eager to explore this innovative addition to the borough’s culinary landscape.
