Franco's Italian Army

In 1972, Al Vento and Tony Stagno built a Steelers fan club around Franco Harris and their shared Italian roots. The hoagie named after it is still on the menu.

The Menu

Back on North Highland Ave.

Vento's closed in 2023 after 67 years. New owners brought it back — same address, same recipes, same Pittsburgh.

A Pittsburgh Pizza Shop Since 1956

Al Vento Sr. opened a pizza shop on Highland Avenue in 1956, and East Liberty has never really let it go. This is that story.

I visited this place for several things to take away, among them a Sicilian pizza. Pizza was delicious and the service by Marco and Aizhamal was kind and patient, despite my demanding requests (which peppers to add, exclude cheese but add pepperoni, etc). The place is honest for what they offer.

Been going to this place for years — they have some of the best pizza in town! Worth the money and the service is great and always fast. I got a cheesesteak hoagie with eggs, tomatoes, fried onions, mushrooms, and green peppers. It is so divine.

Love me some Ventos. Food is good. Shawn has been cooking there for years and everyone loves him and he treats the customers very well. If you haven't tried Ventos, do so! They are open for breakfast as well.

Customer service isn't bad — it's a busy place. Typically wait time for an order is 20-40 min around lunch, which isn't bad. The food could be improved upon with better quality lunch meats.
