Other Details:
Santo and Josephine Paterno came to this country in 1938 from Sicily with their two sons, Paul and John. They came to the United States in search of a better life. Santo worked with his brother and built a large business of a pizzeria and liquor store. Josephine worked as a seamstress.Santo and Josephine realized they wanted to have their own business. So in 1954 they went off on their own and opened a small liquor store on Central Avenue in Chicago.In 1983, he took a portion of the liquor store and made a small carry out counter for pizza and sandwiches. Paterno Pizza was born. Every few years they expanded the pizza restaurant. By 1991 they had a full kitchen serving Santo and Josephine’s homemade recipes consisting of pizza, pasta, beef, sausage, meatball, soups and much more. They also have a full service bar. At that time they decided to sell the liquor store and concentrate solely on the pizza restaurant.
