Long-Time Restaurant Owners Weather Pandemic in New City Location with Made-from-Scratch Offerings

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on February 26, 2021

For those visiting Bridgeport who have already sampled the city's fare or those who are residents of the city and beyond looking for a trip for a new culinary experience, here's a recent edition of WBOY's Restaurant Road Trip. This week, the restaurant in question is less than a year old and located on Route 50 right in Bridgeport  (927 West Main Street, Bridgeport 26330). The phone number is 304-841-3312.
 
FROM WBOY
 
Kim and Salvatore Marino have owned pizza restaurants in several different areas since 1986. They opened Original Italian Pizza in Fairmont in October 2015 but moved to Bridgeport one year ago.
 
Unfortunately, this came with some bad news for the country.
 
“We actually opened the day before Governor Justice had shut everything down for the pandemic, so it was actually bad timing, but we have fought through it. We have adjusted the business.”
 
As a result, the business transitioned only to carry out and curbside delivery and has still seen success. As for why the Marinos said that it is likely the combination of fresh ingredients and their refusal to cut corners.
 
“He makes the dough from scratch every day, he makes the sauce every day, and fresh items on the pies and that’s a rarity anymore,” said Kim Marino.
