A family-owned restaurant in Williamsbridge is bringing together two cuisines that are rarely found under one roof \u2014 pizza and traditional Vietnamese food.<\/p>\n
At VPho and Pizzeria, owner Elizabeth Lee has combined her love of Vietnamese cooking with a neighborhood pizzeria she purchased in 2023. She expanded the menu about a year later to include authentic Vietnamese dishes, giving Bronx residents a chance to experience flavors from her culture alongside classic New York pizza.<\/p>\n
Lee said her goal is to share her heritage with the community.<\/p>\n
“I came here when I was little, and I want to share my culture with everybody here,” she said.<\/p>\n
The unique menu has sparked curiosity among customers, many of whom stop in for pizza and leave having tried Vietnamese cuisine for the first time.<\/p>\n
Lee said customers often ask about the dishes displayed on the restaurant’s walls and are eager to sample something new.<\/p>\n
The menu features a variety of Vietnamese favorites, including sandwiches and traditional Vietnamese coffee, while still serving the pizza that neighborhood customers have come to expect.<\/p>\n
The combination of familiar comfort food and authentic Vietnamese flavors has helped the restaurant carve out a unique identity in the Bronx.<\/p>\n
From classic slices to traditional Vietnamese recipes, Lee hopes the restaurant shows that unexpected combinations can create memorable dining experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A family-owned restaurant in Williamsbridge is bringing together two cuisines that are rarely found under one roof \u2014…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284477,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-284476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
