History
Owner and Executive Chef Sam Tino is a 2nd Generation Restaurateur who grew up in an Italian restaurant. At the age of ten, he began making pizza boxes for his family's restaurant in Eugene, Oregon. In 1955, his father's business, Tino's Spaghetti House, was notably the first restaurant in Oregon to serve and sell pizza. Passion for food runs in the family, and from a young age, Sam learned that first and foremost, fresh ingredients make quality meals.
