Vito's Ristorante&pizzeria

The Gironda family is extremely grateful and thankful for more than thirty years of great relationships in the Sandhills community. We have been blessed with great friends and precious memories with lovely neighbors! We look forward to meeting new friends who continue to move to the area as well as seeing our favorite people week after week. Please let us know you are new to the area, we want to be sure you are welcomed properly! It all began in the spring of 1980, when the Gironda brothers traveled south to the Sandhills searching the perfect location for their pizzeria and the Sandhills area was awaiting the grand opening. Giovanni, the eldest of the four, with twins Vito and Franco combined their talents to opening the doors to Vitos Pizzeria and Ristorante July 10th, 1980. The brothers worked many hours a day, seven days a week employing very few. Positive feedback spread through the locals like wildfire and Vitos soon became the most popular dining destination in the area. In the early years when Vitos was open for lunch local teenagers would leave school grounds and unsatisfying cafeteria lunch for the gooey slices of New York Style thin crust pizza and the unique taste of the Sicilian sytle thick crust. The local community was loyal to the flavors and authentic Italian cuisine the Girondas created. Many residents made their first visit more than thirty years ago choosing to dine with Vito more than twice a week and many patrons continue the same habits today. Vitos Restaurant enjoyed early success with overwhelming community support. Vitos was able to expand their business many times in the first twenty years. The Broad Street location which was first leased, is located just a few blocks from the building they operate today. Vitos New York Style Pizza sales paved the road for the success of the Speciality Menu available today adding mutliple Chicken, Veal and Shrimp features, including customer favorites Chicken Imperial Veal Florentine and Shrimp Fr
