Our Story

Renato(left) his, mother and his brother Toni making bread in the family bakery oven

It all started in Scilla, Italy in the 1940s...

Renato Longordo, Sr. (picture left) was born in Scilla Italy, a small town across from Sicily on the Strait of Messina. He was born into a family of bakers and excellent cooks. From an early age he was working in the family bakery. It was here that he developed his skills for  preparing, appreciating, and enjoying good food. 

...and continued in Compton , CA, 1964

After many hardships in famine stricken Southern Italy, Renato emigrated to the USA in 1959. In 1964 he opened his first business, "Paisano Pizza" , first in Compton, later in Huntington Beach.


...and in Westminster, CA in 1982

In 1982, he opened "Renato's Pizza" in Westminster, CA.  at the corner of Brookhurst and McFadden, where it is still today.  A few years later, the new dining room was added and it then became " Renato's Restaurant".
