Local Restaurant Spotlight: Pat’s Pizza
The inspiring story of the Pat’s Pizza restaurant family begins not here in Swedesboro, but instead across the cerulean seas, in Greece. It was there that Tony Kotanidis made his decision to head to America, hoping to make a living and support his family. While here in the US, a family member living in Pennsville told Mr. Kotanidis about a small pizza shop that was listed for sale there. In 1974, Kotanidis had to make a choice: stay in America and purchase the pizza shop, or return to Greece with the money he’d made and raise his family there. He made the decision to stay, and purchased the shop with family members Joe Demourtzidis and John Karakasidis. They revamped the brand and created a new menu, and with that, Pat’s Pizza as we know it today was born.
