The Tree Tavern started as a tavern and restaurant on Crosby Avenue in Paterson, New Jersey. It was a landmark location in Paterson through the 1950's and 1960's. The Francia family froze the very first Tree Tavern Pizza in 1955 and was the first frozen pizza ever sold in a supermarket. The business prospered for many years as both a restaurant and a frozen pizza company. The restaurant was ultimately closed so the Francia's could focus on the retail business. It grew many fold through the years. It was acquired in 1992 by Provision Foods of Wanaque. This Company is owned by Mike Ryan. It is still the same all natural delicious product you have enjoyed all these years. It is available at A&P, Foodtown, Kings, King Kullen, Shoprite and Stop & Shop stores.
