Rooted in Sicilian family recipes dating to patriarch Vince Vitale's immigration from Sicily, Pazzos Italian opened in 2024 at 2163 Abbott St on OB's north end as a sibling concept to the Vitale family's Pazzo's Pizza, which has operated in Scripps Ranch since 1993. Slab-cut Sicilian squares and thin-crust rounds sold by the slice anchor a menu that also spans fresh pastas and Italian subs, adding a southern-Italian dialect to OB's pizza corridor alongside Pizzeria Luigi's Neapolitan-influenced pies. Anthony Vitale's 35 years in the restaurant industry drive a —Sicilian-Italian-California Nuvo— approach—traditional recipes adapted with local sourcing and grab-and-go formats. Indoor and patio seating both welcome leashed dogs, making the Abbott Street location a natural post-beach complement to Dog Beach two blocks north. That proximity also puts it in the orbit of fellow casual, dog-welcoming kitchens like DoughBoy's Grill nearby. The most involved builds on the evolving dinner menu pair house-made pasta courses with Italian-California entrees scaled for seated group service.
