Our Story
More than 60 years of pizza, tradition, and community in Kenosha.
A Kenosha Tradition Since 1965
One of the city’s original pizza restaurants
Valeo’s Pizza first opened in 1965 when founder Sam Valeo introduced one of the earliest pizza restaurants in Kenosha. Built on simple ingredients and a commitment to quality, the restaurant quickly became a local favorite known for great pizza and dependable service.
In 1973, Jim and Lila Spata purchased the restaurant and continued growing its reputation within the community, helping establish Valeo’s as a trusted Kenosha institution.
The Favorites That Built Our Reputation
Premium pizza and classic sides made with simple ingredients
Over the years, certain menu items have become local favorites and part of what makes Valeo’s special. Our premium pizzas remain at the heart of the menu, including customer favorites like the Detroit Red Top and the Valeo Special.
Alongside our pizzas, guests continue to enjoy shareable classics like cheesy bread, wings, mozzarella sticks, and hearty sandwiches. Every item is made with simple, chemical- and preservative-free ingredients and prepared with the same care that has defined Valeo’s for decades.
Rooted in Community
Serving Kenosha with purpose for over six decades.
Valeo's Pizza has always believed a restaurant should play a meaningful role in the community it serves. Since 1965, we’ve focused on more than great pizza — we’ve focused on building relationships, supporting local initiatives, and creating a place where people feel welcome and connected.
Community building is part of everything we do. Through our team, partnerships, and daily interactions with customers, we continue building community one pizza at a time. A portion of every sale also helps support efforts that strengthen the Kenosha community and the organizations that make it thrive.
