Locale | Vittorio Ristorante & Pizzeria Now Open in Rustic Canyon
They say you can’t burn down community spirit and Vittorio’s Pizza is living proof. After January’s devastating wildfire destroyed their beloved home in the Palisades, the Pellegrini family chose not to walk away but to rebuild.
As of last month, Vittorio’s is back, opened in Rustic Canyon on West Channel Road and ready to serve their legendary pizza once more. If you’ve ever shared a pie with friends at Vittorio’s, you know how special it is. New memories, together.
"The Palisades fire swept through and reduced Vittorio's to ashes."
Vittorio's Restaurant, a beloved community cornerstone since 1984, was tragically destroyed in the Palisades fire on January 7, 2025. Built by Mercedes Pellegrini and her daughters, Vanessa and Sabrina, along with a loyal team of employees, the restaurant served as a haven for connection, celebration, and support for over 40 years.
The fire not only erased decades of memories and hard work but also left 16 families without their primary source of livelihood. Now, the family and employees are seeking community support to cover unexpected costs and rebuild, ensuring that Vittorio's can once again serve as a beacon of joy and togetherness. Your contributions can help them rise from the ashes.
