Our Story
From a Small Kitchen to
From a Small Kitchen to
a Beloved Destination
Pizza inn began in 2003 when founders Marco and Lisa Delgado opened a tiny 12-table pizzeria on Galloway Avenue in Mesquite, TX. Armed with a hand-built stone oven, recipes passed down from Marco's Italian grandmother, and an unshakeable belief in real ingredients, they set out to offer something different — pizza that actually tastes the way it should.
Word spread fast. Within two years the restaurant had doubled in size. Today, Pizza inn serves hundreds of guests daily, offers online ordering and delivery across the United States, and remains fiercely committed to the same stone-fired quality that started it all. Every pie still leaves the same oven, made by hands that genuinely care.
