Meet the Claggett Family

For Brian, Ben, and Olivia Claggett, Plaza Pizza® is much more than a business. It’s the taste of their childhoods.


From birthday parties to movie nights, Plaza Pizza® was a staple in the Claggett home, as it’s been a staple for generations of local families.


After taking over from the founding owners in 2019, the Claggetts came together as a family to keep this beloved Newark business alive.


Following the original recipes that first put Plaza Pizza® on the map, the Claggett family is committed to growing the business and bringing the great taste of their Italian restaurant franchise to all of America.
