The Giaimo family arrived in this country from Sicily, the Mediterranean island just off the "toe" of Italy's boot, in 1988. They entered American with the hopes of creating a successful business, but moreover, meaningful friendships. Pietra & Giovanni took ownership of their first restaurant, Pizza King in 1990 & honed their skills as Italian restauranteurs. They crafted pizza dough embracing their family traditions but made it their own & perfected it over time. Giovanni (known locally as Johnny), conjured up a savory spice combination for the marinara that blesses many of their pizza & pasta dishes today. All the while, having a particular gift for connecting with people, Giovanni stayed true to the mantra that customers become friends & friends become family. Eight years later opportunity presented itself again & the couple opened La Pizzeria in High Point, North Carolina. Taking what they knew worked well for them, they started anew, creating more food & more friendships. Today, working alongside Pietra & Giovanni are their two daughters, Maria & Giovanna, having grown up in the restaurant business. Pietra proudly acknowledges that Giovanni is more than a good man, he is a great father & grandfather. May of life's lessons can be pondered over pasta & pizza! Together, the Giaimo family wishes to invite you to share in what they've come to value here in America- close family, devoted friends & exceptional food. - Pietra & Johnny Giaimo.
