Danny's Italian/American Restaurant & Pizza Danny's Bagel was established in 1997 producing the American style bread called Bagel (bay-guhl) and Sub Rolls. Pioneering the Delivery service by motorcycles, bicycles and scooters of Bagel and Sub Sandwiches we then started to create Pizza, Pasta, Wings and much more to be offered to the Local Expat and Chinese community. Then from 1998 through 2007 we supplied international school lunches that included American, Chinese, Korean and Japanese style menu items from our bakery and kitchen in the Haizhu section of Guangzhou. Grades preschool through 12th could enjoy favorites such as Mac & Cheese, Cheese Steak Subs, Bi Bim Bop, Sushi, Lasagna and much more.
Then in 2005 a partial motorcycle ban went into effect then a full motorcycle ban took place in 2007 so Danny's opened their first Dine in restaurant in the Pearl River New City section of Tianhe, Guangzhou. This restaurant opened on September 21st, 2006 and school catering ceased in June 2007. Now most deliveries are made using bicycles. The restaurant can seat over 100 but in it's current configuration, we can seat 75-90 persons comfortably. At Danny's we provide our customers with a quality western dining experience mostly with tastes and styles from my home town area in New Jersey, USA which has a lot of influence from surrounding states like New York and Pennsylvania. Our menu is filled with an array of value priced, Italian/American style food and classics such as Handmade Stracci & Pappardelle; Steak; Roasted Baby Back Ribs; Chicken & Fish; Fresh Salads & Hearty Soups; Traditional Sandwiches that include Cheese Steak Subs, with great Dessert favorites like N.Y. Style Cheese Cake, Warm Chocolate Cake with a Molten Chocolate Center. I always get a kick out of how many Pizza's we sell but we do sell a lot of Pizza. Our Pizza sauce like our Pasta Sauce is made from Imported Italian plum Tomatoes and all the toppings like our Sauces are freshly prepared chopped each day.On the Asian Side and mostly for lunch we have a Kimchi Fried Rice and Beef along with a great Shrimp Fried rice. We make everything from scratch and serve nice size portions fresh from the kitchen.
About Danny I am from New Jersey, U.S.A. born & bred I've been over seas since 1994 mostly in Mainland China. Many years before coming to China my friend and old boss Mike helped me create a resume as the company we were working for was being sold and we didn't care much for the new owners, so it was time to write a resume or in asia a "CV". The last thing I filled out was interests and "International Travel" popped into mind from the many trips to Santo Domingo, Mexico and Germany and boy did I travel. With my first trip in 1993 the next 3 or 4 years in China I spent traveling and trading and for a guy in the fast paced life of manufacturing I was slowly getting tired of this (Trading) when we (Bruce, Carlos and myself) decided to do something different and why not, they were making bagels in Beijing already. So we opened Danny's Bagel in 1997. That "something different" allowed me to marry my wife Shu Yi or better known as Ada. Much Thanks goes to my best buddy Rick who I grew up with in New Jersey and introduced me to Bruce and Carlos and my brother for allowing me to Travel and taking care of our Mom. I've seen and experienced quite a bit and for me, a person who loves to study people, there is no better place than a country growing in leaps and bounds and a city at the heart of it all.
