Ken and Elaine Spinato opened their first pizzeria after moving from Chicago to Phoenix with their infant daughter Nicole in 1974. Within a year, their son Anthony was born. Over the next 40 years, Spinato's grew through word-of-mouth thanks to our authentic Italian flavors and family atmosphere. Every guest was (and still is) treated like a member of the family, focusing on the guest to provide the food and the ambiance that inspired a family legacy.
