Pizza Chef

What makes ORA special and a great place to work?

We are bonded by family, friendship, deep roots in the community of Oradell, and a shared Italian heritage. For more than 20 years, we have been dreaming about what it would be like to bring a new concept in dining to the community where we grew up.
