A slice of Italy in Rochester, NY - A "simple" story of Italian entrepreneurship


I'm listening to Joe Capogreco's Italian Carousel to hear some Italiano and some Italian music, and their promotions (quaint!) highlight Salvatore's "Old Fashioned" Pizzeria in Rochester, New York. For anyone who wants to get a grounded perspective on how institutions like this arise from nowhere, visit Salvatore's "history" page - how many teenagers today would sacrifice like "Soccer Sam" did to help his pizano (uncle) and then risk everything to realize his vision for a pizzeria? After you read the history, click on the "locations" link to see how Salvatore's (aka "Sam's") has expanded.
