Meet The Founder

 

Pino Piroso, creator and owner of Pizza Rustica, has more than 30 years of experience in the restaurant business.  Piroso began to develop his passion for food at an early age, watching his mother in the kitchen creating authentic Italian dishes.

Since 1996, Piroso has put his heart and soul into building Pizza Rustica, which has expanded to numerous locations throughout the US and Europe.  Piroso continues to have a hands-on approach at the restaurant, working seven days a week to maintain high standards and consistency.  As a result of his diligent work ethic, charismatic leadership and passion for Pizza Rustica, employees and customers alike adore him like family.

In the beginning we worked day and night, making pizzas, serving the customers, taking deliveries, modifying the recipes, introducing new pizzas and educating our customers.  After years of hard work, we knew we had built something very special. Pino Piroso
