A short history

From the small village of Roscigno, in the Province of Salerno, and the Region of Campania, Italy, the origins of the Tierno's pizza were started. When Angela Tierno married Benedetto Resciniti in 1886, she brought with her centuries old recipes for dough, sauce, and other Italian fare. These were passed along the family for decades, until the day Tomasso Resciniti Demont and his son Todd, along with Todd's wife Joelle, decided it was time to put the "Italian" back in pizza by opening their own pizzeria in Plum to bring these wonderful Italian recipes to the general public.

We feel too many pizza chains have lost that family-style cooking and pricing, and we'd like to bring it back and for you to compare what we offer in pricing, quality and quantity to any other pizza shops. It's hard these days to bring a family out to eat and maybe a movie without spending a small fortune, and we at Tierno's try to alleviate that by offering family-style cooking, in a comfortable, family oriented eatery at affordable prices. As you can see by our menu, we offer not just pizza, but also hoagies, wings, salads, calzones, and stromboli. All of our dough and sauce is made fresh daily, and all of our food is made with the freshest ingredients bought by local vendors. In the coming year, we will be adding pasta, soup, and at least 14 new specialty pizzas.

So we'd like to invite you, as our guests, to come down to our house, kick back and relax while enjoying some of the finest Italian fare in the Pittsburgh area. If you can't make it down, we'll be happy to deliver it to your house as quickly as possible. We hope to see you soon.
