FIRST SLICE: Long-awaited opening of Valentino’s set for Wednesday

The long-awaited moment has arrived.

Valentino’s Pizza officially opens its doors today to an eager fan base of pizza enthusiasts.

“You know it’s surreal to see something you’ve worked on for so long – in action. We did some test runs the last couple of nights and everything is working as it should,” said Cody Taylor, co-owner of Valentino’s.  “I’m not going to lie, this morning (Tuesday) I was nervous and about one o’clock I was really nervous. But we got the team together, got things organized, and people started coming in and we greeted fans with some great food and beverages.”
