Our story is a simple one. It all started over 30 years ago in 1969, using a family recipe passed down to her from her father Augie, Teresa and her family opened their first store in Maple Heights. Only the best ingredients were used. The dough was made fresh daily. The pizza sauce was made from scratch and simmered to perfection. The toppings for the pizzas were prepared fresh daily. All of these efforts to focus on the small details created one of the finest pizzas in the Cleveland area. And the business grew.

        That effort over 30 years ago formed the backbone for what Teresa’s is today. Our homemade recipes still only use the finest quality, best tasting products available. Her attention to detail is the same today, as it was over 30 years ago.

        Our philosophy is to sell a high quality pizza loaded with cheese and toppings at a reasonable price for our customers. We are constantly scrutinizing our distributors to ensure that they not only maintain the high quality of our products, but also that they keep the costs to us down, so that we can pass the savings on to our customers.


        Since 1990, we have methodically grown to 11 locations, through franchising. And when each one of those locations opened, we ensured that the values, principles, and the attention to detail that Teresa used in her first location, was carried over into the new location. Our owners today are some of the finest and highly qualified people in the industry. So no matter which location you go to, you will get the same care and dedication that you would if you were getting it from Teresa herself.
