It Started in a Basement

One pizza-loving family, more than five decades of local history, and a name Northeast Ohio still knows.

Before There Was a Restaurant

Bob Miller started by making pizzas for friends and family. They kept telling him he ought to sell them. Eventually, he listened.

What followed wasn’t a carefully mapped-out restaurant empire. It was one good idea that kept finding its next chapter.
