Our History...  

In 1927, Philomena Scarnato began her journey from
Calabria, Italy to America for the start of a new life with her
husband Samuel.  After passing the Statue of Liberty and then through Ellis Island, Philomena settled in Butler, PA., a small mining town outside of Pittsburgh. While her husband, also an Italian immigrant from Calabria, worked in the coal mine, Philomena was hard at work in her kitchen, delighting both her family and neighbors with her mother’s pizza recipe. It was a recipe that had been handed down in her family from generation to generation.

Philomena passed along this recipe to her children, then
onto her grandchildren. The recipe was a classic Italian
style, and it was ALWAYS STONE BAKED. This is the same
simple recipe that her own mother used back in Calabria. While simple to the generations of the past, Philomena’s recipe has become a lost art in today’s world of the corporate, mass produced pizzerias that focus more on the delivery of pizza rather than the quality. Pittsburgh Pizza & Wing Factory offers our customers a chance to take a journey back in time, to Philomena’s kitchen where you find a pizza that is always done one way, homemade!
