Giuseppe's Pizzeria Bistro

Born in northern New Jersey, Joseph “Giuseppe” Saltamachia recalls fondly going as a young boy on Sundays to make pizzas at his grandparent’s home. The kitchen was filled with family – aunts, uncles, cousins – and the aromas of great food filled the air. His family’s tradition led to Joseph’s lifelong passion for food that continued as a teen working in an Italian restaurant back home. He found his way to Johnson & Wales, where he earned a bachelor’s degree Food Service Entrepreneurship and Culinary Arts. While there, and working in the kitchen of a celebrated local restaurant, he met his future wife, Rachael, a Johnston native.
