When Mike Della Ragione, the current owner, caught wind that Andre’s Pizza was for sale he was in Brooklyn, New York, his new home in the United States ever since he had emigrated from Naples, Italy with his family many years ago.  There he was employed in an Italian restaurant owned by a close family friend and was able to gain much experience in the restaurant business.  Mike had always dreamed of owning his own restaurant and so after much thought he decided to move to Oxford, Pennsylvania where he purchased Andre’s Pizza.
 

When he first bought Andre’s the menu was very limited, and the place was in need of much love.  The first few years were filled with many hardships, but slowly he was able to surmount these obstacles by putting his new ideas to use. The menu was expanded, daily specials created, and a wait staff was added to provide a nice casual dining experience.  His main idea of using old family recipes and others he had acquired in New York combined with the use of only the best quality ingredients proved to be the key to success.
 
As a result, an Italian restaurant was created with a wide variety of items ranging from a lengthy list of delicious appetizers, succulent hand made pizzas, almost any kind of sub or cheese steak anyone could want, garden fresh salads, delectable pasta entrees, and more. 

Everything is made to order and freshly prepared!  Andre’s not only provides the convenience of ordering for take-out but also allows customers to choose to dine in and enjoy a wonderful meal in a friendly, family atmosphere.

Today as Mike looks back on the many years that have passed and how, with the support of his family and a great deal of hard work and dedication, Andre’s Pizza and Italian Restaurant was molded into what it is today. He is very proud of his business, but most of all he has an immense appreciation for all of his loyal customers because through their support he was able to make his dream come true.
