About us

our story

Since 1954, Paterno Pizza has been rooted in a passion for authentic Italian cooking and family tradition. Founded by Santo and Josephine Paterno, the restaurant began as a small family venture inspired by their Sicilian heritage and a dream of sharing homemade recipes with their community. Over the years, that dream has grown into a beloved establishment known for its warm hospitality, time-honored techniques, and dedication to quality ingredients.

Today, Paterno Pizza continues to be proudly operated by the Paterno family, preserving recipes that have been passed down through generations. From handcrafted pizzas and hearty pasta dishes to signature favorites like the famous Italian beef, every item is made with care and authenticity. While much has evolved over the decades, the heart of the restaurant remains the same—serving delicious, homemade Italian food that brings people together.
