our story
locally owned, family operated
We are proud to be a locally owned and operated food store whose roots go back four generations to a grocery family that began in Italy. Our goal is to always provide families with exceptional quality produce, natural organic foods, and award winning customer service. We have a passion for people and our community, and do it all for the love of food.
The Beginning
In 1933, founder John Piazza Senior left his home in Trabia, the Palermo region of Sicily, to come to the United States for a better life. Mr. Piazza had a dream of one day owning his own natural foods market. After he returned from WWII in 1945 he got into the grocery business. Several years later in 1979 he started his own market where he achieved his dream of a place where his customers could get local organic produce and top quality natural foods. He put a traditional Italian spin on a modern food market, making Piazza’s the unique grocery store that it is today.
The Next Generation
We are locally owned and operated and the fourth generation of a grocery family that began our tradition in Italy. In 1979, we joined our Father, John Piazza Sr., to create the markets that everyone shops at today. John Sr.’s vision was to always to provide families with exceptional quality produce, natural organic foods, and award winning customer service. We are in our stores every day because we are committed to honoring our Father’s legacy.
Come say “Hello” to John Piazza Jr., Gary Piazza, and Rick Piazza. We look forward to serving you!
