How Are the Owners of DeLorenzo’s Pizza and DeLorenzo’s The Burg in Hamilton Township, NJ Related?

DeLorenzo's The Burg just opened its second location in Hamilton Township on Tuesday (February 24). Its original location is thriving in Levittown, PA. The question the restaurant gets asked the most isn't about its pizza or any of the other food on the menu. It's about its family connections.

I see a ton of people on social media insisting that Tyler is Rick's grandson, and that's not true. Rick DeLorenzo and Tyler DeLorenzo's father are brothers, making Tyler, Rick's nephew. When I asked if the Uncle & nephew speak, I was told they are "cordial."
