The Story of Taranto's Pizzeria


The Taranto Family has been in the pizza business for over 15 years. We literally started in a "big red barn" in Pickerington, Ohio, which is known as "The Pizza Barn". Dan Taranto, the founder of Taranto's Pizza and with help from his mom worked long hours on recipes and especially our delicious pizza dough recipe together. Dan got the whole Taranto clan together and came up with more recipes, and taste testing that was amazing!

We knew that we didn't want to be the cheapest pizzeria with the cheapest ingredients, or the fastest, or even the biggest. What we wanted was a quality pizza that you would come back for again and again. You will find in our products only the best ingredients. We make our dough fresh, slice and dice veggies, and meats, our salads are made fresh everyday and so is our pizza sauce. We take the time to do it right. You won't find frozen or microwaveable ingredients. Maybe you won't find the perfectly round pizza crust you see in some of the big chains, but that is because everything is done by hand!

Dan Taranto lives in Pickerington. Debbie Taranto Antoun, her husband Sami, and her parents, John and Suzanne Taranto, live in Lewis Center, in the Polaris area. We live and work in the communities we serve.

Debbie is the founder and CFO of the Orange Township Business Association, (OTBA) and one of the organizers of OTBA's Orange Celebration, the community's annual 4th of July Parade. She also serves as a Trustee on the board of the Ohio Restaurant Association, and is a member on the NAPICS (North America Pizza and Ice Cream Show) Board for planning and organizing the annual show held at The Columbus Convention Center every February.

Taranto's Pizza is truly "Your Hometown Pizzeria", and we'd love to introduce your family to our family tonight!
