On Wednesday, regional restaurant Pizzaiolo Primo will open the doors on its newest location, in the former Atria’s on Route 22 in Murrysville.
Restaurant officials said they have been waiting for their authentic pizza oven to arrive from Italy. It will join a host of fresh ingredients also imported from Italy.
The Murrysville opening is led by Mt. Pleasant native Ron Sofranko, who has owned and developed more than 25 restaurants over the years.
Pizzaiolo Primo has locations in Pittsburgh’s Market Square and in South Fayette. The Market Square location closed during the covid-19 pandemic, but was purchased by Sofranko Advisory Group and reopened. The South Fayette location opened in 2023.
The restaurant’s newest location will also be its largest, with seating for 240 people.
Guests can enjoy a full menu of Neapolitan food, including pizzas, cheese and pasta that are hand-made daily.
