Torino opened as a pizzeria in Tecumseh Town in 1971 serving pizza, pasta, chicken, ribs, hamburgers and sandwiches for pick-up and delivery. Gerry Deluca founded the business as Chef and owner in partnership with his brother-in-law Philip Coppola.

Seeking to provide a more formal dining experience, the Pizzeria was moved across the street in 1982 where it expanded it's services to include a full-service dining room with an extensive menu including a variety of pasta, veal and seafood dishes. A fast growing catering service developed and to keep pace with the growing demand, a 400 capacity banquet hall was built and opened in 1989. The dining room was later extended to include a beautiful solarium for private parties.

Today "Torino Pizzeria" is "Torino Plaza" providing a multifaceted operation to service all aspects of the food industry.
