Our Story
The Original Kono Pizza cone is pizza reinvented! The power of pizza in the palm of your hand…its perfectly folded for the best NY style pizza in the US! Owners David Ragosa and Carlo Ruggiero brought this style of pizza straight form Italy using only authentic ingredients. These unique cones make it easy for customers to carry healthy and flavorful treats while they’re on the go.
All cones can be made to order with dough and sauces imported straight from Italy. Using the cone allows customers to enjoy a delicious meal without the scare of dropping a piece or spilling sauce or other toppings.
The portability of the cone allows us to provide traditional and mobile merchandising options so they can be sold in the way you decide works best for your business.
