Love lasagna? Streets of New York’s signature Lorrie’s Lasagna is a decades-old family recipe from President and CEO Lorrie Glaeser, stacked with ricotta, Italian sausage, ground beef, mozzarella, and pecorino. It’s comfort food with history, built the same way as the company itself: hands-on, family-driven, and backed by longtime team members who’ve been around for 30-plus years.

Streets of New York is officially back in Fountain Hills, reopening just last month and reclaiming its spot as a neighborhood favorite. The family-owned Valley institution, serving Arizona since 1976, has returned to the community it called home for nearly 20 years with a new location at 12645 N. Saguaro Blvd., Suite 11.

The refreshed space feels both familiar and upgraded. The 92-seat restaurant includes 24 tables, a 12-seat bar, and a full cocktail program, plus a large covered patio overlooking the park and the Fountain. A dedicated to-go area keeps pickup easy and efficient, whether it’s a weeknight dinner or a last-minute pizza run.

“We’re thrilled to rejoin the Fountain Hills community and bring our family recipes back to a neighborhood that has supported us for so many years,” says Ryan Glaeser, director of operations at Streets of New York. “This location has some of the best views in the Valley, and we can’t wait for guests to enjoy great food, great drinks and a warm welcome, just as they’ve come to expect from Streets of New York for nearly 50 years.”

The Fountain Hills reopening marks the brand’s 16th location across Arizona, with restaurants throughout metro Phoenix and Prescott. The menu stays true to form with handcrafted New York-style pizza made from fresh yeast dough and a proprietary sauce, along with classic pastas, sandwiches, and comfort-forward Italian staples built on decades-old family recipes.

“We’re excited to welcome Streets of New York back to Fountain Hills in its new location,” says Fountain Hills Mayor Gerry Friedel. “This restaurant has long been a favorite in our community, and its return reflects the strength of our local economy and adds to the vitality of our downtown.”

After nearly 50 years in the Valley, Streets of New York’s return feels less like a reopening and more like a homecoming.
