De La Nonna

De La Nonna is a vibrant, market-driven pizzeria offering a modern take on traditional Italian comfort food. Founded by industry veterans Patrick Costa, Jose Cordon, and Lee Zaremba, the brand grew from a pandemic-era pop-up into a beloved brick-and-mortar in L.A.’s Arts District. Meaning “from the grandmother,” the name reflects the founders’ Italian and Latin heritage—and their mission to create a warm, soulful space for craveable food and genuine connection. The menu features Sicilian-style focaccia pizzas, inventive small plates, and a curated list of natural wines and craft cocktails, all served in a stylish yet approachable setting.

Following the opening of a second location in Big Bear Lake, De La Nonna now brings its signature hospitality to a refined lakeside atmosphere. The brand’s growth strategy centers on quality, community, and a strong sense of place—targeting lifestyle-driven markets while maintaining its neighborhood charm. With a loyal following, clear identity, and commitment to excellence, De La Nonna is well positioned for continued success in the evolving culinary landscape.
