Galleria Pizza American restaurant
In 1994, Tony Natalie and Edward Frusci opened Galleria Pizza in downtown Rochester, NY on Main and Broad. We spent 5 amazing years at this location when we learned that the building next door to us was going to be demolished, and that our building was being sold. With only 30 days to exit, we scrambled to find a new location that was in the same area. We didn't want to move too far and leave the loyal customers we had gained. Fortunately, we were lucky to find our second location at 17 East Main Street.
But like many things in life, the overhead at the second location became too much and we could no longer afford to stay there. After 5 years at our 2nd location, we were on the hunt again for a new area to rent. God was on our side again.
