Family Pies
When Chuck and Janet Ward dropped by a grocery store on a long drive, they never imagined this pit stop would change the trajectory of their lives. But a four-hour conversation with the owner turned into a trip to the bank, and that same day they were the proud owners of Chuck’s Little Giant in Groveport, OH.
Straight away, they embedded themselves into the community. Since they lived next to their business, they often sent customers home with handmade pasta and meatballs. When the opportunity came up to buy a pizza place down the street, it was a no-brainer.
Soon, a large grocery chain moved in, and they made the decision to convert their market into Little Italy Pizza. They passed the restaurant down to their son, Nick, in the early ’80s.
