Sag Harbor — What began as a casual neighborhood spot for smash burgers and fried chicken has quickly become one of the East End’s must-visit food destinations. Cluckman’s, the fast-casual eatery from longtime Hamptons restaurateurs Michael Gluckman and Lila Beudert-Gluckman, is celebrating its one-year anniversary this summer with the launch of a new in-house concept: Pizza Pizza.

Since opening its doors in July 2024, Cluckman’s has earned a loyal following for its hand-breaded chicken tenders, juicy smashburgers, signature Sag Sauce, fresh lemonade, and old-school milkshakes. The vibe? Family-friendly, fast, and rooted in quality—making it a standout among Sag Harbor’s busy summer dining scene.

In March 2025, the Gluckmans added another layer to the experience with Pizza Pizza, a slice shop operating within the Cluckman’s space. Serving thin, crispy, cheesy New York-style pizza, the new addition brings even more variety to locals and visitors looking for quick, satisfying meals just steps from the harbor.

“Watching people enjoy a burger or a slice with their kids, right in the middle of town—that’s what it’s all about,” says Lila Beudert-Gluckman, who co-owns and operates Cluckman’s with her husband, Michael. “We’re proud to be a place people return to all summer long—and even in the off-season.”

Michael Gluckman, a veteran of the Hamptons dining scene (Bamboo, The Lodge), calls Cluckman’s “his most community-focused project yet.” Together with Lila, whose background in hospitality and beauty gives the brand its signature warmth and attention to detail, the couple has created a local staple designed for everyone—from beachgoers to year-round families.

Cluckman’s and Pizza Pizza are located at 24 Long Island Avenue, Sag Harbor, and are open daily from 12pm to 9pm. Come for the chicken, stay for the pizza—and see what’s made this family-run spot one of the Hamptons’ most craveable success stories.
