THANK YOU FOR 47 YEARS!
The Family from Rochester, NY Since 1978 and Proud of It!
“47 Sheets for 47 Years!”
(Rochester, NY) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Salvatore’s Pizza was started by Salvatore SoccerSam Fantauzzo in 1978 after his Home Economics class project at Eastridge High School. The first location opened at 1985 East Main Street on July 5, 1978. Salvatore’s Pizza now celebrates 47 years of business in Rochester!
In honor of Salvatore’s Pizza 47th year anniversary, each Salvatore’s location is committing to donating 47 Sheet Pizzas throughout their local community during the month of July.
“We will be donating over 1,500 Sheet Pizzas throughout Rochester and surrounding areas,” said Salvatore SoccerSam Fantauzzo, CEO & Founder of Salvatore’s Pizza, “Thank You Rochester... 47 Sheets per location for 47 Years!”
Each Salvatore’s Pizza location has independently selected a variety of nonprofits, first responders and emergency service centers, health facilities, local businesses, nursing homes, shelters, car dealerships & banks, youth sports camps & summer school, rec centers, media buildings and more to be recipients of free Sheet Pizzas!
“Salvatore’s goal is to say thank you to our communities for 47 years of love and support,” said Silvio Fantauzzo, Salvatore’s President of Restaurant Operations and Owner/Operator of the Ontario & Webster Village locations, “If your business is selected as sheet pizza donation recipient, this means that your local Salvatore’s location recognized you as being a valuable member of our community. Enjoy your free pizza!”
This year Salvatore’s has opened locations in Churchville and Batavia, with a location in Bushnell’s Basin also opening this summer. Salvatore’s will have 32 Full Menu locations including Donuts Delite and several Pizza Pubs & Saloons. Pizza outlets can also be found at Taste of Rochester in the Airport and Innovative Field.
“Each Salvatore’s is individually owned and operated by a different local family, making each location a true family-owned local business,” Said Kayla Kent-Moreira, Salvatore’s President of Business Operations and Churchville Location Owner/Operator, “We are proud of the job and career opportunities that we have been able to provide for the last 47 years, and look forward to serving Rochester-Style Pizza for many more years to come!”
“Thank you to all of our amazing Owner/Operators, dedicated managers and hardworking employees, my supportive family and friends, Salvatore’s vendors and partners, and our media and community leaders for 47 years of support!” said SoccerSam, “And most importantly... thank you to our loyal customers! Cheers to 47 years, Salut!”
