History
Established in 1993.
In 1993, Akron was introduced to DeCheco’s Pizzeria. The beauty parlor turned pizza shop is home to «mom’s» recipes, loyal customers and a family’s life long dream of making pizza. Jack and Shirley DeCheco opened DeCheco’s barbershop and an adjoining beauty parlor in 1978. After a broken leg left Shirley unable to work in the salon, Jack took a risk and opened up the pizza shop he always wanted. The barbershop moved to the beauty parlor side and the vacant parlor became the Akron staple known as DeCheco’s Pizzeria. The famous «White Pizza» was the brainchild of Shirley herself, as she tried many recipes to perfect the winning combination. The area locals were intrigued by this new idea as they continued to spread the word of the Original White Pizza. Covered in a creamy garlic sauce and topped with fresh tomatoes, banana peppers, black olives and herbs it’s clear to see why this pizza accounts for half of DeCheco’s business still today.
