Marco Rossi
Co-Founder & Head PizzaioloWith 20+ years of pizza-making experience, Marco trained in Naples before bringing his craft to Wilmington. He personally approves every seasonal recipe.
Seasons Pizza was founded in 2010 by Marco and Elena Rossi, a husband-and-wife team who left their corporate careers to pursue their shared dream: a neighborhood pizzeria that changed its menu with the seasons, celebrating the best local produce Delaware had to offer.
Starting with a single wood-fired oven and a handful of tables on Kirkwood Hwy, the Rossis built their reputation one pizza at a time. Every recipe was tested at the family dinner table before it ever reached a paying customer — a tradition that continues to this day.
"We believe great pizza isn't about shortcuts. It's about real ingredients, real technique, and real love poured into every single pie."
Today, Seasons Pizza is a cornerstone of the Wilmington dining scene, recognized statewide for its seasonal menus, community partnerships with local farms, and welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.
Every decision we make — from sourcing ingredients to designing our menu — is guided by these core commitments.
We partner with local Delaware and Pennsylvania farms to source the freshest seasonal vegetables, herbs, and proteins for our ever-changing menu.
Our hand-built wood-fired oven reaches 900°F, creating that authentic char and smoky flavor that no conveyor belt oven can replicate.
We give back to Wilmington through school partnerships, food bank donations, and hiring locally — because our community is what made us who we are.
We compost, recycle, and repurpose. Our packaging is 100% compostable and we've reduced kitchen waste by 60% since implementing our green initiative in 2020.
Every pizza we make is a reflection of our genuine love for great food. We never cut corners — if it doesn't taste perfect, it doesn't leave the kitchen.
We treat every tomato, every herb, every wheel of cheese with respect — choosing quality over convenience, always.
We're open about where our food comes from, how it's made, and what's in it. No hidden additives, no mystery ingredients.
We taste, test, and refine constantly. Our chefs travel to learn new techniques and bring those inspirations back to our Wilmington kitchen.
From a tiny kitchen on Kirkwood Hwy to a beloved Delaware institution — here's how we got here.
Marco and Elena Rossi open the first Seasons Pizza location on Kirkwood Hwy with a 12-table dining room, one wood-fired oven, and a seasonal menu of 8 pizzas.
Named "Best Pizza in Delaware" by Delaware Today magazine for the first time. The recognition brings a surge of new customers and a 3-month waitlist for weekend reservations.
We formalize relationships with 5 local farms, locking in seasonal supply agreements and launching our "Know Your Farmer" menu callouts that customers love.
We launch online ordering, expand the menu to 30+ seasonal items, and introduce our event catering service which quickly becomes a major revenue stream.
During unprecedented times, we launch contactless delivery, introduce meal kits, and establish our Zero-Waste Kitchen initiative — emerging stronger with a broader community connection.
Now serving 500+ guests per week, partnering with 8 local farms, and planning an expanded dining room and community pizza school set to open in 2026.
