Faro's Story
Faro Uccello was born and raised in Partinico, Sicily. He grew up in a warm caring family that included his
parents and four siblings. Faro moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1976 and went into the Pizza Business. Once
established here, Faro and his wife started their family, which also includes five children.
Faro opened his first pizza shop in 1978. From this time to 1987 Faro opened seven more pizza shops in the area.
In the interim, Faro moved his family back to Sicily and planned to remain in "The Old Country". In 1990 Faro sold
the Faro's Pizza franchise with the idea that he and his family would be living in Sicily from now on.
As it happens many times, circumstances changed and the family moved back to Grand Rapids. Faro was again in the
restaurant business when he opened Uccello's Ristorante Pizzeria & Sports Lounge on the East Beltline between
the malls in 1996.
Once Uccello's Ristorante was up and running, Faro began to evaluate the Faro's Pizza Restaurant franchise. When
it became obvious that the pizza shops were not up to his standards, Faro decided he would reacquire the Faro's Pizza
franchise and correct the problems. In November 2000 Faro reacquired the franchise.
Faro was very busy in 2005. The opening of the Standale location at the end of May, and the opening of the Caledonia
location in November made for a very eventful year. In November of 2011 the Grandville Uccello's was
opened.
Faro always seems to have a project going. This fits perfectly with his personal philosophy to, "Always strive to give
your customer more than they would normally expect. Provide people the opportunity to enjoy great food and the service to
match. You must always strive to be better in everything. And, never compromise on top quality in any area".
