After a brief stint on Mt. Hope Avenue, an esteemed Rochester pizzeria is venturing into the suburbs. Bay & Goodman Pizza, originally established at the iconic intersection from which it draws its name, is slated to open its new location at 6548 Anthony Drive in Victor on Tuesday, August 20.
“We’re aiming for that date,” said Larry Piccarreto, expressing optimism about the upcoming transition. “It should be attainable.”
Founded in 1955 by his aunt and uncle, Josephine and Alfonse Salvaggio, the pizzeria has been a local fixture. Piccarreto took over the family business in 1980 and relocated it to North Winton Village in 2007.
In the spring of 2022, Piccarreto decided to close the restaurant as he considered retirement. However, rethinking his decision after discussions with his adult sons, Matthew and Nicholas, he reopened the pizzeria in the fall of 2023 in the Mt. Hope Plaza, with Matthew taking on the role of operator.
The Mt. Hope location ultimately shut down in April due to the expiration of their lease, subsequently being taken over by Mr. Shoes Pizza.
With the new Victor location, the family aims to reinvigorate the business landscape. Matthew, at just 22, will once again lead operations, while his father Piccarreto will contribute part-time, offering his guidance.
For those coming from Rochester, the new pizzeria is conveniently located just over a mile east of the village of Victor, in a space that previously hosted Marvin Mozzeroni’s Pizza and Pasta.
“This region is rapidly expanding,” Piccarreto remarked. “I believe we’ll find success here.”
Census data supports this optimism, revealing that the town’s population surged by over 11% during the decade from 2010 to 2020, reaching 15,860 residents. Additionally, the median household income was reported at $110,395 in 2020, indicating a solid economic base within the community.

The Victor branch of Bay & Goodman Pizza will operate from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; and from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays, while remaining closed on Mondays.
Menu Updates at Bay & Goodman Pizza
While the core pizza offerings will remain unchanged, Piccarreto confirmed that the overall menu has seen some modifications.
“Customers can now look forward to a new bacon smashburger, and we’ve introduced a selection of chicken sandwiches,” he noted. “Our salads continue to be popular, and we’ve opted to phase out paninis in favor of wraps.”
Future Plans for Bay & Goodman Pizza
In addition to the new Victor location, Bay & Goodman Pizza is also planning a return to Rochester.
“We currently have a tentative agreement that could see us back in the city by Christmas,” Piccarreto disclosed, though he kept specific details under wraps, only mentioning that it would be in North Winton Village, close to where he grew up.
