Today, we proudly celebrate 50 years of Bayville Meat Center! ❤️
Established in 1976 by Pasquale and Else Vassallo, Bayville Meat Center began as a dream built on hard work, family values, and a passion for bringing people together through food.
Pasquale, a first-generation Italian American from the Bronx, New York, and Else, originally from Berghausen, Germany, laid the foundation for what would become a lasting family legacy. Little could they have imagined that 50 years later, the business they started would continue to thrive and bring so many people together.
Following Pasquale’s passing in 1987, his son Eddie took the reins, carrying on his father’s legacy while growing the business into the fine delicatessen and gourmet catering destination it is today.
Today, Eddie’s son Michael proudly joins him as Co-Owner and Head Butcher, continuing the family tradition and honoring the generations before him.
While three generations of the Vassallo family have helped shape Bayville Meat Center over the past five decades, we know that our story would not be possible without one very important part of it: YOU, our customers.
For 50 years, you have supported us, celebrated with us, trusted us, and welcomed us into your homes and special occasions. Many of you have become so much more than customers — you’ve become friends and family.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our journey and allowing us to be part of yours.
50 years of family. 50 years of tradition. 50 years of memories.
Here’s to the legacy of Pasquale and Else, the generations that followed, and all of you who have made Bayville Meat Center what it is today.
With love and gratitude,
The Vassallo Family & The Bayville Meat Center Team ❤️
