Vito’s Pizza & Italian Ristorante

About the Business

Specialties

Here at Vito's Pizza & Italian Ristorante, we've been serving Mesa, AZ authentic Italian food and Chicago style thin crust pizza since way back in 1986 when Vito and JoAnne opened up their first restaurant. These Italian immigrants came here bringing classic recipes passed down from Vito's grandmas that the restaurants still serve today. We import all of our flour directly from Italy, use only 100% real Wisconsin and Italian cheeses, and source only the freshest of ingredients for our dishes. It's all these reasons that make Vito's the Mesa, AZ staple it is today. And with 4.5 Stars on Google, and over 342 reviews we'd say guests agree. Whether it's cannoli, linguini pescatore, or our seafood risotto that brings you in, you're certain to leave with a smiling face. And if you're interested in banquets or catering we have that too. We're also well known for our lunch dishes. Our sandwiches, Italian fries, and light appetizers are the perfect thing for your midday outing. And if you're on the search for gluten-free options, we have everything from appetizers to salads to pizza. Here at Vito's you're sure to get an experience worth your time, and the check...

History

Established in 1986.

Vito sailed with his family from Ripacandida, Italy to America on the Andrea Doria. After they arrived in the United States, his family originally settled in the Chicago area. It was there that Vito met and married his wife, JoAnne, and together they began a family. In 1974, they moved their family west to Mesa, Arizona and purchased land that would serve as the future site of Vito's Pizza Place. Vito had always dreamed of opening a pizza place, and in February of 1986, that dream came true. Vito and JoAnne gathered their best family recipes to create a menu of delicious authentic Italian dishes. By blending Northern and Southern Italian styles of cooking with the freshest ingredients, they have created the same delectable dishes their family enjoys at home. It is Vito's and JoAnne's goal to provide a warm and friendly family atmosphere where you can enjoy their delightful homemade specialties.
