Sam and Frances Giuliani’s story began in 1977 with the opening of Antonio’s Pizzeria in Uptown Westerville. Frances’ love for authentic, homemade recipes and her genuine care for every guest who walked through the door quickly turned Antonio’s into a community favorite.

After Antonio’s was later purchased by a large pizza chain, Frances stepped away from the restaurant world for a while. But her passion never faded. That same fire eventually brought her back, this time alongside her son Robert and niece Rita, to continue what she loved most: bringing people together through great food.
