American History is filled with stories of men and women of other nations coming to this great land of opportunity and making a way for themselves and their families.
One such success story is right here in our own community. Cataldo Alu, "Aldo" as he is known by most, first came to this nation on January 22, 1966, at the tender age of eighteen. Aldo was born on May 10, 1948, in the city of Palermo, Sicily of Italy. Working with an Italian restaurant in St. Louis, he decided to test the opportunities available and began his own restaurant.
Aldo came to Washington, Missouri on July 2, 1971, at the age of twenty-four and opened ALDO'S PIZZA on the corner of Fifth and Grand. It's been a success ever since. He married Liberata or "Susie," on June 29, 1974. Aldo's philosophy is to make the best Italian food around by taking meticulous care in using the freshest ingredients which go into every dish. Take his pizza for instance, it isn't thrown together using mass produced dough. Our pizza dough is made fresh each morning when we arrive in preparation for the day’s business. In addition to Aldo’s special recipe used for sausage and hamburger toppings. When you order any of our pastas there is no doubt you will taste the years of family tradition that went into our sauces prepared daily as well.
Over time Aldo did finally make the decision to pass his legacy onto his youngest son Antonio “Tony” who now carries on the family’s traditions keeping this Washington, MO staple alive for another generation. We hope to grow with and share many more memories as our town continues to grow.
