A Homage to the Patio Season, the Collaboration Will Feature Alileo's Rosato, Bianco and Zibibbo in the 1.5 Liter Bag-in-Box Format
BROOKLYN, N.Y., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alileo, a Boston-based Sicilian boxed natural wine brand, and Roberta's Pizza, a Brooklyn-based pizza restaurant, are excited to announce the launch of a first of its kind collaboration. Marking the start of patio season, the collaboration is designed exclusively for Roberta's Pizza offered in the 1.5L bag-in-box format, a size that's ideal for a group of friends who just want to enjoy each other's company over pizza and wine. Alileo's wines have been named among the best boxed wines by media outlets such as Food & Wine, VinePair, Men's Journal and the NBC Today Show.
"Besides the good food at Roberta's, we really love their attitude and style so we're super excited to have the opportunity to provide patrons with this exclusive offering. Afterall, everyone knows pizza and wine couldn't be a more perfect pairing! I'm looking forward to seeing friends enjoying time together with our wine at Roberta's rooftop in the Penn District or over a picnic in Central Park," said Antonio Bertone, co-founder of Alileo. "We put a lot of thought behind the box's design and being former skateboarders ourselves, it's reminiscent of old skateboard culture, something both myself and Brandon really vibed on together."
"As Roberta's tends to be an incubator for progressive entrepreneurship, Alileo seemed like a perfect partner for our brand," said Brandon Hoy, owner of Roberta's. "Our restaurant encourages a 'house party' type of atmosphere and having the opportunity to offer our customers a box of wine to share among friends just made complete sense to me. We're really excited to launch this just as patio season is beginning."
Exclusively designed for Roberta's, the collaboration will be available in Alileo's Rosato, Bianco and Zibibbo in the 1.5L format. Distributed by Union Beer, Alileo will be offered in Roberta's New York locations including Penn Station, Brooklyn Bushwick and Brooklyn Domino Park as well as the Los Angeles locations in Culver City and Studio City.

About Roberta's
Tucked away in the lively, bohemian enclave of Bushwick, Brooklyn, Roberta's helped pave the way for the borough's thriving food scene. The creation of Brandon Hoy and Carlo Mirarchi has, since its opening in January of 2008, become a neighborhood institution, an international culinary destination, and an incubator for progressive entrepreneurship.
Roberta's, long known and loved for its wood-fired Neapolitan style pizzas, offers a vast array of creatively composed dishes that push past traditional culinary boundaries. Over the last 17 years, Roberta's has developed into a multi-faceted compound with communal seating, private tables, and a sun soaked atrium. It has been home to a rooftop greenhouse, an artisanal bread bakery, takeaway and delivery pizza kitchen, as well as a Tiki Bar, Heritage Radio studio, and a garden. Built inside a former manufacturing building, Roberta's progressive expansion incorporates shipping containers and multiple buildings combined with an ad hoc art and design aesthetic.
Roberta's offsite locations include: the first Manhattan brick and mortar site at UrbanSpace Vanderbilt market; seasonal popups at Madison Square Eats, Frieze Art Fair, Governors ball, Panorama and The Meadows Music Festivals in New York, in addition to a pizza popup in the Jungle Plaza of The Miami Design District, and a special weekend event at Dusek's Chicago to name a few. Additionally, Roberta's helped build the Brooklyn Grange in 2010, a one-acre rooftop farm and event space in Queens, NY.
