Family-run in Portage, PA since 1973

The pizza
your grandparents
told you about.

A recipe born in a Pittsburgh bakery in the early 1950s. Two generations later, still hand-tossed, still family-run.

Our Story

A recipe, passed down.

Charlie Rimini Sr. started making pizza in his uncle's bakery in Pittsburgh in the early 1950s. The same dough, the same sauce, the same stubborn insistence on doing it right — it's what you eat when you walk into Parkway today.

The restaurant has been owned and operated by the Rimini family for over 52 years, now run by Charlie's son, also Charlie, and his wife Sherry. In a town of 2,600 people between Altoona and Johnstown, Parkway has been the place you go for a birthday, a Friday night, a Sunday after church.

Not everything old is worth keeping. But a good pizza recipe, tended to for two generations — that's worth every mile you drive.
