Floral arrangements line the storefront and a steady stream of customers filed into Andrew Bellucci’s Pizzeria on 30th Avenue in Astoria Friday.

Most of them were there to pay respect to the business’ namesake. Andrew Bellucci had a heart attack Wednesday evening while making one of his famed clam pizzas in the restaurant.

He was pronounced dead at nearby Mount Sinai Hospital shortly after.

“I think he died with his boots on. He died with his pizza shoes on. And that was it. I mean, in a sense, there’s some solace in there that he was in his house,” said Matthew Katakis, Bellucci’s business partner.

Katakis kept the store closed Thursday, but decided to re-open Friday. He said it’s what Bellucci would want.

All the sales Friday benefit Slice Out Hunger, which funds hunger relief efforts — it was Bellucci’s favorite charity.

“I want to make sure that we honor his memory,“ said Katakis.

NY1 first met Bellucci back in October — while covering the beef between him and his former business partner over the name of his new pizzeria.

At the time, there were two pizza joints baring the name Bellucci’s on 30th Avenue — just eight blocks apart. But after a legal battle played out, Bellucci agreed to rename his new store using his full-name: Andrew Bellucci’s Pizzeria.

Bellucci is well known in the pizza world. He had 30 years of experience making pies at legendary spots like Lombardi’s.

“It starts and ends with the dough. Everything else is in between,” said Bellucci in October 2022.

His pizzeria battle earned him press. So did a 1996 fraud arrest and plea deal.

But any way you slice it — his passion for pizza was evident in everything he did.

“The one thing that’s consistent with how I’ve always done pizza is I make it as if it’s for my family. So when somebody’s coming to get my pizza, you’re getting the food that I would serve my family, because when you’re with me, you are my family,” said Bellucci.

That was clearly felt by customers, and foodies alike, who stopped by to pay respects.

“He was just a good guy, a happy guy who had overcome some stuff and found his place here,” said Joe DiStefano, a Queens food and beverage consultant.

Katakis hopes he’s learned enough from the pizza master to keep serving Bellucci’s recipes to the masses.

“I’m very proud of the pizza that I make. I take it more seriously than anything else in my life,” said Bellucci in October 2022.

A wake and funeral services have been scheduled for next week.

Bellucci was 59 years old.
