You may have heard New Yorkers or Chicagoans complain that nobody makes pizza like when they were kids. The quality of the cheese, the freshness of the dough, the love just isn’t there anymore. Bellacino’s Pizza & Grinders aims to bring back the good old days with a franchise of fast-casual style restaurants that recreate original recipes from an iconic midwestern shop, Sammy’s Pizzeria, founded in 1959 in St. Clair Shores, Mich. The by-gone eatery was Sam Mancino Sr.’s and his original recipes for dough, bread, and sauce live on in today’s franchises. “A Bellacino’s pizza today consists of the pizza sauce recipe and hand pressed dough recipe originally developed by Sam Mancino Sr. from decades ago,” say owners, Steve and Amy Parr.

The essential elements of those great sandwiches – fresh baked bread, quality ingredients like a proprietary blend of cheeses and huge portions – remain the essential elements in Bellacino’s grinders. Favorite grinder combinations include the popular Chicago steak grinder of thinly sliced rib eye steak smothered with mushrooms, onions, cheese, and Bellacino’s own garlic spread; and the Italian grinder stuffed with ham, sausage, salami, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. “We have the absolute, top-of-the-line meat, cheeses and vegetables and we will never compromise our quality for a gimmick or profit,” Parr stresses.
