Giuseppe “Joe” Sciara​, the namesake of Uncle Joe's Pizzeria in Hampton Bays, has sold his business — after more than half a century making pizza — to Tana Leigh Gerber​ and Scott Gerber of Hamptons Brands, who have reopened the Hampton Bays flagship location after an extensive renovation, rebranded a Wading River pizzeria as a second Uncle Joe's location and have plans to continuing expanding the Uncle Joe's brand at "red sauce joints." ​The Gerbers join the editors on the podcast this week to share their vision for continuing​ Sciara's legacy.
