Pizzeta Restaurant - Livingston LiquorLicense for Saler
Business Description
Affluent LivingEssex Cty. Location | Broad C License | Italian - Pizza
Executive Summary
This is one of the most compelling restaurant acquisition opportunities currently available in Northern New Jersey.
The asking price has been reduced to $999,000 for the business, all furniture, fixtures and equipment, and the included #33 Liquor License. Industry professionals estimate the standalone value of the liquor license alone to be approximately $975,000, meaning a buyer is effectively acquiring an established, fully equipped restaurant business with approximately $900K in annual sales for little more than the value of the license itself.
For operators seeking to enter the highly desirable Livingston market, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Not only does this offering include one of the town’s limited Broad C liquor licenses, it also includes a beautifully built-out turnkey restaurant that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars—and likely well over $1 million—to recreate today.
Pizzeta is a highly visible Italian restaurant and pizzeria located in one of Essex County’s most affluent communities. The approximately 3,200-square-foot facility features 92 indoor dining seats, an inviting 18-seat full-service bar, and a separate dedicated pizza and take-out operation that allows delivery and carryout business to operate independently from the main dining room.
The kitchen and back-of-house facilities are exceptional and designed for high-volume production. Highlights include a premium RotoFlex pizza oven capable of producing up to 28 pizzas simultaneously, expansive prep areas, multiple production stations, three walk-in refrigeration/freezer units, extensive dry storage, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a secure liquor storage room. A full basement provides additional storage and operational support rarely found in comparable restaurant properties.
The business currently generates approximately $900,000 in annual gross sales and has produced an average annual cash flow of approximately $110,000 over the past two years. An experienced operator may also identify opportunities to increase revenue through expanded marketing, catering, delivery, extended operating hours, or menu enhancements.
Whether you’re an independent restaurateur, multi-unit operator, hospitality group, or investor, this offering provides the opportunity to acquire a proven restaurant operation together with one of Livingston’s most valuable and difficult-to-obtain business assets.
Asking Price: $999,000 for the business, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and the Broad C Liquor License.
At this price, the liquor license alone represents virtually the entire purchase price, making this an exceptional value for anyone looking to establish or expand a restaurant operation in one of New Jersey’s premier dining markets.
Confidentiality Agreement required prior to the release of financial information and additional due diligence materials.

- Pizzeta operates in one of Northern New Jersey’s most affluent dining markets. Livingston and neighboring communities including Short Hills, Millburn, Roseland, West Orange, and North Caldwell provide a strong customer base with high household incomes and a long-standing demand for quality dining and take-out options.
Italian cuisine remains one of the region’s most popular restaurant categories, yet few competitors offer the combination of a full-service restaurant, dedicated take-out pizza operation, 18-seat bar, and valuable Broad C Liquor License. The separate pizza entrance allows efficient service for both dine-in and take-out customers without disrupting the dining experience.
The included Broad C Liquor License creates a significant barrier to entry for future competitors and represents substantial standalone value. Combined with a fully equipped facility, established customer base, and prime location, Pizzeta is well positioned for continued growth under new ownership. - Opportunities for Growth
- Pizzeta offers several opportunities for growth under new ownership. While the business enjoys an established reputation and nearly $1 million in annual sales, there is potential to increase revenue through expanded marketing efforts, enhanced social media engagement, online ordering optimization, and targeted catering programs for local businesses, schools, and community organizations. The restaurant’s valuable Broad C Liquor License and 18-seat bar create opportunities to increase higher-margin beverage sales through happy hour promotions, wine dinners, private events, and sports viewing events. Additional growth may be achieved by expanding delivery services, strengthening third-party ordering platforms, extending operating hours, and utilizing the facility’s substantial production capacity, including the high-volume RotoFlex pizza oven, to support increased take-out and catering sales.
