Andrew
started in the pizza business in 1984 with one store. By 1998 he
had 18 stores, ranging from Washington to California. It took him
years to develop the recipe for his sauce, calzone mix dough, and
Caesar dressing. The original name was Tony Maroni's, but they decided
to change this store so it would be more personal with the new community-
which is now Sammamish. Andrew learned to cook from his father.
His dad comes from a Sicilian background. He never owned his own
store, but always volunteered to cook for all of the events in Monterey.
The pictures that you see are of Andrew's father cooking for the
church functions. He loved to cook and was very proud of Andrew
when he decided to start his own restaurant business. His father
passed on in 1998 and his grandson and namesake, Joseph, joined
the business that same year.
