Valeo's Pizza

Valeos Pizza was established in 1965, making us 51 years old! Over the last 51 years, Valeos Pizza has given over $1,000,000 to local causes, donated over 10,000 pizzas to community events, provided over 300 jobs to local citizens, and sponsored over 200 organizations.

Due to the hard work and dedication of the first generation of Spatas to own Valeos, we are privileged to have an extremely loyal customer base that supports the dream to create jobs, to mentor youth, to give generously and most importantly, to build community. As our slogan states, Building Community One Pizza at a Time is the core in which we base every decision. Building community is the sole purpose of Valeos Pizza. We strongly believe that through bringing people together around a good meal, investing in our team and giving generously to causes we believe in, we can take a seemingly simple task, such as making pizza, and turn it into a
