Other Details:
Picture it, Sicily, 1926…Well, more like Rockford, 1986. My father, Vincenzo, was laid off from his factory job. My mother, Maria, was a homemaker taking care of me and my 3 brothers: Salvatore (13), Francesco (10), Michael (2) and me, Vince; I was 7. With six mouths to feed, Maria & Vincenzo decided to risk it all and embark on their dream of owning a pizzeria.On January 13, 1986 they opened the doors to Marie’s Pizza for the first time, making a sacrifice in order to give us an opportunity to someday take over what they had started. As we grew up, all of us kids put in time at the pizzeria. It was not uncommon for us to be helping take care of the customers, when we could barely see over the counter. Now we have a legacy we can pass onto our own children.Many of those first customers are still loyal customers and we are now serving their children. Our customers have been our sole method of advertising, them telling their friends and family. Without them, we would not be where we are today.
