St. Louis Style Brick Oven Pizza
HISTORY
1968
Faraci Pizza was started by Joseph & Dorothy Faraci in 1968, in a simple three table dinning room at the corner of Suburban and South Florissant Road in Ferguson, Missouri.
1981
After 13 years at that location, they bought their own building, still in Ferguson located on South Florissant Road, that seated approximately 20 people.
1992
As time passed, the business continued to grow, and so did their family. They welcomed two sons, Pete and Vince. Their oldest son, Vince, later branched out to Ellisville, Missouri, in St. Louis County, where he opened his own place, which seats approximately 100 people.
1998
Joseph and Dorothy's son Pete, stayed at Ferguson location, until they retired in 1998. At that time, they sold the restaurant in Ferguson and Pete joined his brother in Ellisville.
Today
These days you can find Mrs. Faraci with her sons and grandchildren in Ellisville, helping out occasionally, and greeting you as you come in.
Faraci Pizza started in 1968 by doing everything by hand and from scratch. That tradition still stands today, and stronger than ever with Vince and Pete. If you had a pizza in 1968 and you have one today, they would be identical.
