Happy Italian Pizzeria

Happy Italian Pizzeria Short description needed Since he was young, Lenny Minutillo always dreamed of owning his own restaurant. Finally in 2013, he opened Happy Italian Pizzeria.
(425)

Permanently closed.

He started in the industry in 1967, learning everything he could and getting the experience he’d need to succeed. We’re using fresh ingredients to create the best Italian-inspired dishes for our community: pizza with dough that’s made from scratch and in-house, calzones filled with flavorful ingredients, and a beer and wine selection to pair perfectly with whatever you order. And with our open-kitchen layout, you can get some easy entertainment as you watch us cook up your meal!

For all the close friends of mine. I’m afraid that I have some very personal reasons for this post, I'm sad and mad. It is in the most difficult moments of life you realize who your real family, friends or people are that really have your back. People's true colors come out when the attention isn’t on them. Unfortunately, some friends are going to press "like", but not really read it because it takes time to read this statement and when they see that it is long, they skip it. WAKEUP- Now I look at those who take the time to read this post until the end ..... I think I will discover that 5 maybe 6 will. Cancer is very invasive and harmful, even after the end of treatment your recovering body is still struggling to restore the damage caused by radiation/chemotherapy. It is a very long process. (100% true). Please, in honor of a family member, a friend who died, or is still fighting cancer or even had cancer but beat it, Copy and paste (don’t just share) on your page. So I can find out who read it, please write "done" so we can see together the power of Unity!! To all those who have lost someone or are in the battle against cancer, here’s a hug for each and every one of you and your loved.

Hi everyone! Gavin’s wife here. As we head into the second to last weekend Happy Italian is open, we’d love to hear about your experiences with us the past nearly 13 years. A great meal, a funny moment, a picture of food or friends gathered around the table, or just your favorite dish. Gavin & Lenny (and Sandy!) deserve all of the flowers for their accomplishments in creating a wonderful place to work and eat.
