Stuft Pizza was founded by Jack Bertram in 1976 as a small takeout restaurant in Cerritos, California. The company has been franchising since 1985 and has locations throughout California and Oregon. It is now based in La Quinta, California.
The Lino family migrated to the neighborhood from
Brooklyn New York many years ago, bringing with them a sense of pride and tradition along with authentic
recipes developed by Filomena Lino, with the dream of opening a New York-style pizzeria.
