The First Cassano’s
It all began in a 20′ x 15′ room adjoining a small grocery store on Schantz Avenue in Kettering, Ohio. Vic Cassano, Sr., along with his mother-in-law Mom Donisi, took the advice of a family friend who owned a party supply store in which they began selling their Cassano family treat, pizza, in the back of the store.
