Over the last 21 years, Enrico “Jo-Jo” Armetta has always tried to stay out of the spotlight, despite owning and running Jo Jo’s Famous Pizza, a New York-style joint at 1201 E. Main St.
“I lay low,” Armetta said. “I’m just a hard worker with a little pizza joint on the corner of 12th and Main.”
Now, armed with a self-deprecating sense of humor and a lifetime of pizza experience, Armetta is stepping up – and responding to decreased foot traffic downtown – with an expansion of Jo Jo’s to Midlothian.
