Pagliacci's: Brasciole a la Joe Parente

In 1950, Joe Parente opened Pagliacci’s Pizzeria and Cocktail Lounge at 4592 Manchester and Kingshighway with partner Battista (Bob) Cassulo. Pagliacci's boasted a glass-enclosed corner-kitchen where customers could see how real Italian Pizza was built, babied and baked to perfection as only Pagliacci's chefs knew how.
