Sponsor Spotlight: DeMarco's Pizzeria
DeMarco’s Pizzeria and Restaurant is the kind of neighborhood spot that feels like it’s been there forever—because it has. Second-generation owner, Lou, hasn’t changed the old-school family vibe much over the years—but has made it a point to continually upgrade his game. For one, his food and ingredients are the best you can find. Not satisfied with anything less than simple and pure, you’d be hard pressed to find a kitchen with more non-GMO Verified ingredients. His flour is never bleached and never contains bromide, and his pasta is always authentically Italian and fresh.
Lessons Learned at a PizzeriA
Lou’s parents bought into the business with his godfather, Tom DiMaggio in the mid-seventies. He literally grew up in the kitchen, and twenty years ago he officially took the business over.
The restaurant has been both a love and a challenge, helping Lou break out of his shell, understand the needs of customers of all ages and walks of life. Dealing with complaints has a way of sharpening the character, he jokes.
“I often joke that I’ve been in the place since fetus. The restaurant is my big brother… teaching me the way big brothers often do.”
In the end, he’s taken this young start in the business of accommodation and turned it into a passion that’s reflected in his food and his business practice.
A focus on fresh, quality ingredients
From experimenting in adding new foods people are asking to his repertoire, to offering clean, quality ingredient lists and allergen accommodations whenever possible, to providing late-night catering in a definitively delivery-deficit area, DeMarco’s Pizza has helped define our changing times.
“I really like meeting new people and having food,” Lou said. “In America right now we take for granted how easy it is to be fed and nurtured in that regard. I accommodate people through food, and that’s something that I don’t think restaurant people get.”
