Angelina Bakery Opens Ninth Location in Lenox Hill, Expanding Its Upper East Side Presence with New Artisan Pizza

NEW YORK, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Angelina Bakery, New York's beloved destination for authentic Italian pastries and modern comfort classics, proudly announces the grand opening of its ninth location at 1100 Lexington Avenue, in the heart of Lenox Hill. The store will officially open after Memorial Day. This marks the bakery's second Upper East Side location, reinforcing its growing presence in Manhattan.

To celebrate this new chapter, Angelina is expanding its menu with exciting additions that blend classic Italian flavors with elevated creativity. The new mini pizza lineup features artisan-inspired combinations including Potato, Rosemary, and Red Onion, Margherita, Mortadella and Burrata, Prosciutto and Arugula, Spicy Salami and Jalapeño, Roasted Porcini and Fennel Sausage, Capricciosa and Four Cheese.

Angelina's pizza program is led by Executive Pizza Chef Filippo Pagano, whose culinary pedigree includes Serafina Restaurant Group, Antica Pizzeria da Michele NYC, Eataly/Rosso Pomodoro (NYC & Chicago), and L'Industrie Pizza. At Angelina, Pagano introduces "pizza contemporanea"—a modern, refined take on traditional pizza. Characterized by a lighter, more digestible dough, this style uses a blend of premium Italian flour, long 48-hour fermentation, and a bakery-inspired approach to proofing, baked at 900°F for optimal texture. The result is a sophisticated evolution of the classic pie—bold in flavor, delicate in structure, and uniquely New York through an Italian lens.

Also launching are three indulgent gelato shake flavors: Mango, Mixed Berries, and Coffee — perfectly timed for the warmer months ahead.

The new location is operated by seasoned franchisees and multi-brand entrepreneurs who collectively manage over 20 retail locations across Manhattan, including household names like Serendipity, Rosas Pizza, Playa Bowls, and Koronet Pizza. With locations spanning the Upper East Side, Times Square, Grand Central, and NoMad, Angelina Bakery is the latest jewel in their Italian portfolio.

Angelina Bakery continues to offer a uniquely modern Italian twist on traditional recipes. The Lenox Hill location maintains the brand's signature design—light, airy, and inviting—serving locals and visitors with warmth, heart, and a taste of la dolce vita.
