A Legacy Since 1961
The History of Vento’s Pizza
Vento’s Pizza in Pittsburgh, PA has a long history going back as far as 1961. Al Vento, a lifelong Steelers fan, along with his business partner, Tony Stagno, created what is now the world-famous “Franco’s Italian Army.”
Al, an active member of the Italian-American community in East Liberty, established Franco’s Italian Army in 1972. It was the start of a Pittsburgh Steelers fan base like no other because it helped celebrate the Italian heritage of his partners, Franco Harris, and himself.
