Venezia’s continues tradition in Chandler
Advertisement
Venezia’s is excited to be part of the Chandler community! We opened our 1st location in Tempe off Of Mill and Southern in August of 1998, just after I married my college sweetheart Jaime. We both graduated from ASU, and felt that Arizona was lacking in the pizza market. I grew up in the restaurant business, and ever since I can remember, I’ve always dreamed of opening up a pizzeria of my own. My mother is from Gaeta, Italy which is just south of Rome and my father is from Naples. They came to America with their family just after they turned 18. Arriving in the Bronx and only knowing a few words in English had forced them to find work anywhere they could. This eventually led our family to Rio Rancho, New Mexico where my parents had the opportunity to open a full service, Italian Restaurant which they called Venezia’s—(SIDE NOTE: Venezia’s which is Italian for Venice was decided on after an argument broke out between my parents over which home-town the restaurant would be named after. Clearly there was no winner and that is how the “neutral” Venezia’s came to be). Fast forward to 1998 and my take on Venezia’s was born. A fast casual concept with the same great recipes that my family has passed down for generations in Italy. Six locations later…the rest is history! Jaime and I, as well as the whole Venezia’s family hope you enjoy our pizza as much as we enjoy sharing a slice of our family’s history, passion and fresh, Italian recipes with you!

Pie ATM Debuts
The locally owned and operated bakery Pie Snob recently debuted their Chandler 24-hour pie ATM to supply the demand for their handmade pies.
“We sell handmade from scratch just like what your grandma used to make,” said Miranda Grause, district manager of Pie Snob. “Every ingredient that you see- like the caramel, the whip-everything is handmade, even the crust, we hand roll that ourselves.”
“The flavors that we typically carry in our ATM machines are just the weekly menu pies. We rotate our menu every Tuesday,” said Grause to ABC15. “We fill the vending machine two to three times a day.”
