WHEN THE MOONS HITS YOUR EYE WITH A BIG PIZZA PIE

Get inspired with this motivational Milwaukee business story that celebrates integrity, customer dedication, quality, teamwork and a commitment to Milwaukee.  Giacomo “Jack” Fallucca, president and CEO of Palermo Villa Inc. will share his story of success. 

Palermo’s journey began in 1964 when Italian immigrant “Papa Palermo” opened an Italian bakery in Milwaukee.  By 1969, a restaurant was added to keep up with the demand for their Italian food.  In 1978, Palermo’s began making frozen pizzas and has since become one of the leading frozen pizza manufacturers in the country today.  As a supporter of growth and creation of jobs in the City of Milwaukee, Palermo’s opened a 135,000 square-foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the Menomonee Valley.
