I don’t know what they’re like as an employer, but given the long tenure of many of its employees I’m guessing it’s a pretty good place to work. They also are active in the community, and frequently provide pizza and food to fundraising efforts. The company has always supported local suppliers, has implemented energy saving measures in its restaurants, and in general tries to combine good business practices with good environmental policies. Finally, Davanni’s has a long history of local involvement and socially responsible corporate decisions. Many of the employees seem to have been there for years, as do plenty of the customers. Customers have enjoyed sitting in Davanni’s for more than 25 years now, watching the street activity along Lake Street through each dining area’s huge glass windows. Although food is obviously the core function of any restaurant, there’s other, less edible factors that make a place a beloved part of a community. Still, I get hungry just thinking about a Davanni’s deep-dish pizza (introduced in 1986) or one of their hot hoagies. So what’s to love about Davanni’s? I’m not a food critic I’ll leave the culinary reviews to the experts. In 1983 the company, by then a thriving local chain, changed its name to Davanni’s Pizza and Hot Hoagies, and the rest, as they say, is history. Although the customers presumably loved the hoagies, they also wanted their pizza pizza was soon added to the Uptown menu.

According to Davanni’s Uptown general manager Phil Martin, the Uptown story began on Januwith the opening of a Pontillo’s Hot Hoagies store. Paul, and was initially known as Pontillo’s Pizzeria. The first location opened at Grand and Cleveland in St. My all-time favorite place, Davanni’s has become a local powerhouse, a local chain known for both its pizza and its hoagies. Luckily for me and my fellow pizza connoisseurs, Uptown is bursting at the seams with pizza options. Better yet is being within close walking distance of several places, and having yet more options within delivery distance. Proximity to a good pizza place is a neighborhood essential for me. It’s not really appropriate to say it’s the glue that holds a neighborhood together, but I don’t think I’d be too far off to say that a community’s quality of life is directly related at least in part to the number of quality pizza joints available to its residents.
