Support Local
When you support local businesses, your money stays in the community. It keeps your neighbors employed, and makes your city feel alive. Local owners know your name, remember your order, and actually care if you come back.
Big chains will be fine without you. Your local spots won't.
Next time you need coffee, pizza, or a gift, walk to the place with the hand-painted sign. The community you want tomorrow gets built by where you spend today.

The Roots of a Pizza Legacy
Meet Frank Veltri Sr., the founder of Italian Village Pizza, born in Amantea, Italy in 1955. At just 12 years old, Frank began his pizza-making journey in a Mulberry Street shop in New York City's Little Italy. Growing up in a large Italian family, Frank learned the secrets of authentic Italian cuisine, which he would later bring to Pittsburgh in 1980.
