- Business History
- Sarpino's founder, Gerry Koutougos, took his family on a vacation to Europe in 1999. While touring the Italian countryside, they discovered a small, secluded family restaurant run by an elderly local woman named Sarpina. Gerry was so overwhelmed by how wonderful Sarpina's food tasted, that he volunteered to spend 2 weeks working, for free, as an assistant in Sarpina's kitchen. There he learned the secrets of authentic Italian cooking, which are used in Sarpino's restaurants to this day. In 2001, Gerry opened the first Sarpino's restaurant in Victoria, British Columbia. The first overseas location opened in Singapore in 2002, and in 2003, Phoenix, Arizona became home to the first Sarpino's restaurant in the United States.

General Info
Making a great pizza doesn't just happen. It requires having a great crust, flavorful sauce, rich and creamy cheese, and the tasty toppings. At Sarpino's we've put these all together to make a truly outstanding pizza. All great pizzas start with a great crust. At Sarpino's we make our dough fresh everyday using our own special recipe. We start with a high-gluten flour to help us make the quality dough we need to achieve that perfect pizza that holds its shape once its baked. This way, we get a crust that is light and airy, yet still with a delicate crunch. We also hand-knead our dough and allow it to proof three separate times.
