CARTHAGE â After 15 years of leasing, the Magro family has purchased the downtown building which houses Stefanoâs Pizzeria and Restaurant.
âGreat â it feels like coming back home,â said Salvatore Magro, who is part of the second generation of the family â along with his sister Stefania Peebles â to run the local pizzeria business.
Their father, Stefano Magro, a native of Sicily, had helped his brothers establish a pizzeria in Sherburne before branching out on his own. The senior Mr. Magro and his wife Toni decided settle in Carthage and opened their first pizzeria on State Street in the summer of 1985. As the business grew, they moved into a larger space next door and became a community favorite.
