Richard L. Ceccoli, the owner of Victory Pig Pizza and BBQ, has announced the closure of the beloved restaurant, which has been in operation since 1942.
“I’m getting old enough; it’s time to put the pizza rag in the pile. It’s time,” Ceccoli said. He has been involved with the restaurant since he was just 15 years old.
The land has already been purchased by a buyer, but Ceccoli is unsure of the exact closing date as it depends on the new owner.
Victory Pig has been serving pizza to loyal customers for many years. Ceccoli inherited the business from his parents, who originally opened it. When he took over, he quickly realized the extensive work involved.
“They don’t really know how much it takes to put a pizza pie out. Here, we make everything fresh, so we’re preparing all day to put it in the ovens tonight. We were here last night until 12:00 making pizza for our frozen deliveries, so we’re constantly working on the product,” Ceccoli explained.
Despite the challenges of running the restaurant, Ceccoli said that his loyal customers and devoted staff have made the experience enjoyable.
Tara Consoli, a server at the restaurant for 25 years, expressed her sadness about the closure. “I’ll miss the customers the most. My customers are wonderful. I greatly appreciate them. God bless them. They’re my loyal customers, my regular customers who come from out of state as well. I call them my family. It brings tears to my eyes when I leave because I’m going to miss everybody with all my heart,” Consoli said.
