Vento's Pizza

Try one of our new breakfast sandwiches!


Al Vento has been serving pizza in Pittsburgh and his restaurant has become more of a neighborhood institution than a pizzeria. He built his business working 17 hour days and offering pizza and hoagies to customers with a daily rhythm and rap.


Feeding the stomachs of repeat customers and friends has been the easy part of his business; running a pizzeria in a once thriving area of Pittsburgh that has gone through decades of urban redevelopment fads has been the hard part. Vento has been forced to move his operation three times in the name of progress for his East Liberty neighborhood.


With a commitment to his community and the undying support of the customers raised on Vento food, Vento struck a deal to rebuild in a corner of Home Depot's parking lot.
