Papa Joe’s meals and pizzas are made from old family recipes. It all started back in the late 1940’s with the merging of two Italian Families from Italy, the Colombari’s and Cimini’s. Papa Joe himself started in the food business at a very young age while living in Lee, MA. As a teenager he was selling hot dogs at a local baseball park and after time, Papa Joe became a popular caterer at the local Sons of Italy and Italian American Clubs. Pauline “Toffey” Cimini grew up in Pittsfield working in her parent’s business Cimini n Son’s Italian Market on Fenn Street. In 1954 the two families were joined when Joe and Pauline married. Their two sons, Joseph and Paul, both growing up working in Papa Joe’s catering, also learning from their mother, they both worked in the foodservice industry.

Paul, at an early age, was always willing to help his mother in the kitchen cooking, especially when she was making pizza. Throughout their family and friends, Paul’s mom, known as Toffey, was well known for her cooking and pizza. What became as a well-known tradition Toffey made pizza’s every Saturday and the funny thing was, in a family of only four, she always baked enough pizza for 8 to 10 people. Friends and family always seem to show up for a great pizza every Saturday. Here at Papa Joe’s Grandma Toffey’s amazing sauce and fresh dough is still made by her original recipe, it’s never been changed.

Grandma Toffey was also known for baking the most delicious Italian bread, which she learned from her father, Felix Cimini, a baker from Italy. Here at Papa Joe’s her son Paul continues the tradition of homemade Italian Bread baked fresh every day. All of our sub rolls, handrolls and Italian bread are made from the same recipe Grandma Toffey used. Our fresh Italian bread is served with all our dinners and also available by the loaf. Her son Paul and his family have continued the traditions here at Papa Joe’s Ristorante and Pizzeria for the past 33 years.

We hope you enjoy……Bon Appétit.

Cannoli consist of tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough made with marsala wine. The filling is where the Cannoli gets most of its flavor. The creamy sweeten filling is made with Ricotta cheese, served as is or with other traditional ingredients such as Chocolate, pistachios, candied citrus, etc.

Cannoli maybe easy to find, however some have been Americanized with a version made of a simple custard made from sugar, milk and cornstarch. NOT Here at Papa Joe’s.
