Toarmina's Pizza in Lansing is a part of the chain that started in 1987. Today we sat down with Toarmina's Pizza Lansing Owner Sean Alizada, learning about how Toarmina's has had to pivot to continue offering high quality pizza for all.
Toarmina’s Pizza is virtually the history of the Toarmina family itself. When first generation American Santa Toarmina (Grandmother to the company founder) arrived in Detroit, Michigan she discovered that Americans had a different taste for pizza. She had found that a sweeter sauce better suited the American palate. This is foundation of a Toarmina’s Pizza.
While Grandma Toarmina was pleasing her clientele in Detroit Michigan, another relative, Andy Vitale, cousin to the company founder and owner of the Palermo pizza chain in Grand Rapids, made his own discovery; more cheese! Andy found that above all else, the American pizza eater loves cheese. The more cheese the better.
As part of giving back to the community Toarmina's pizza is offering customers the option to donate $20 to feed a family in need. Also, customers who are in need to use the coupon towards an order for up to $30 and Toarmin's will cover the remaining balance.
They are also planning on donating a few 24” pizzas to first responders over the next couple weeks.
Sean Alizada, owner of Toarmina's in Lansing said that "First responders are not just part of our community, but they are also our heroes. The fact that we are able to make someone smile and say than you for what they are doing for us and our safety gives us hope for a brighter tomorrow."
