History

Established in 2008.

Brothers Vincenzo, Arnaldo and Joseph opened the Berwyn Tavern in 1966 on the corner of 16^th Street and Wesley, in Berwyn. It later became known as Salerno’s Restaurant on 16^th Street. The brothers began to dabble with their pizza recipe from back home and served their thick-​crust pizza to the clientele. It was the customers who encouraged the Salerno brothers to expand their business and focus on serving homemade Southern-​Italian favorites. While their wives prepared homemade pastas, sauces, meatballs and sausage, the pizza became famous.

Later, the family business expanded with restaurants opening in St. Charles, Chicago, Bolingbrook, and Oak Park.

The Salerno family tradition continues to thrive, as the second generation follows in the footsteps’ of their fathers opening new locations in Glenview, Hodgkins, Lisle, Vernon Hills and Gilbert, Arizona.
