Our Story
It all started when Tony met Grace. As a child, Tony would help his father, Joe, at the West Side Market. He was a bright boy and was always daydreaming of how he could be somebody someday. His teen years were spent helping his father at the market selling fruit. Finally, Tony was able to win the heart of Grace, and the two wed on February 6, 1952.
On December 4, 1967, the very first Antonio's Pizza sparked the taste buds of Cleveland. Since then, this taste has become a distinctive characteristic of Antonio's Pizza. In 2000, Tony and Grace’s sons, Fred, Joe, and Tony, decided to explore the delivery concept of the business, opening the first of five express locations in the Cleveland area. Over the years, some things have changed. Joe, along with the help of his sister, Debbie, are running the Parmatown mall location. Tony has since left the pizza industry and went on to open a successful wine bar in the Broadview Hts. Area. Fred, on the other hand, continues with much success along with the partnership of his two sons, Anthony and Vince. Together, the three are coming up with many new concepts and ideas to bring Antonio’s to the forefront of the pizza industry.
