Pizzaiolo Primo: Coming Soon to Murrysville

Get those appetite ready, Murrysville! The beloved artisan pizza spot Pizzaiolo Primo is set to open its third regional location in early March 2026 at 4869 William Penn Highway. Taking over the space formerly occupied by Atria’s, this new addition brings authentic Italian flavors right to our backyard. Led by entrepreneur Ron Sofranko, the restaurant aims to fill the gap left by Atria's closure with a menu featuring Neapolitan-style pizzas, pastas, and traditional entrees like branzino and chicken parmigiana.

Sofranko, who revived the original Market Square location in 2021, is known for his passion for bringing high-quality dining experiences to local communities. This new Murrysville site is the latest step in his mission to share the art of Italian cooking across the region. It’s the perfect spot for a family dinner or a cozy date night once those ovens start firing up next month!

• Projected Opening: Early March 2026.

New Life for Local Favorites: Henry’s Hoagies & Scotty G’s

We love seeing local legacies continue! This past month, two iconic eateries found new life under passionate local owners. In Greensburg, Michelle Maxson fulfilled her lifelong dream by taking over Henry’s Hoagies in late January. Michelle, a local native who grew up learning the ropes in area diners, is bringing back classic recipes like her "Lincoln Inn" coleslaw while adding fresh touches like Boar’s Head meats and homemade soups.

Meanwhile, in Latrobe, Stephanie Nolan has officially taken the reins at Scotty G’s Pizzeria on Ligonier Street. After seven years of working there, Stephanie was honored when the original owner, Scott Goodlin, chose her to carry on the tradition for her three sons. While the famous pizza recipes remain the same, Stephanie is excited to breathe new life into the dining room with upcoming spaghetti and wing nights.

• Henry’s Hoagies: Located in Downtown Greensburg; reopened January 26, 2026.

• Scotty G’s Pizzeria: Located at 1205 Ligonier St, Latrobe, PA.
