Roman Style, Detroit Style, Chicago Style, New York Style, New Haven Style, and Youngstown Style...what's the difference? Joe Risi, owner of Risi Pizzeria & Italian Cuisine explains it all! This guys LOVES pizza! He knows all the ins and outs and even as a hobby, got so good, he was selling off of his back porch to family and friends!

They just expanded their ovens and kitchen to keep up with the demand at the pizzeria, located in Canfield, OH! They have pizza, Italian dishes, flavorful sandwiches, and locally made sweet and delicious desserts!

Risi Pizzeria is the ONLY place in our region that does Roman style pizza, which involves a fermentation process of 72 hours! This not only mirrors the pizza you can get straight from Rome, it also makes it easier for this with wheat intolerances to digest!

Joe was young when he became a drug addict and lost his family, his home, his growing business with his brother, and ended up getting dropped off on the steps of the New Castle Mission.

He went from feeling so lost in life, so overwhelmed by the circumstances of his situation to running the kitchen at the mission, with the heart to serve both the residents and the community!

Meet Joe Risi, a man right here in our community who turns around to offer a life of hope and a plate full of food to those he encounters!
