In 1957, Val and Zena Weiler operated the Campus Fruit Market in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was clear to them that their business would soon be eclipsed by the large supermarkets springing up across Lincoln. The landmark which had stood for a dozen years, had to go. In its place, armed with three dozen pizza pans, a recipe that had been in Mrs. Weiler's family for years, and a generous amount of trepidation, they decided to open a pizza business.They took in $60 their first day, and as the restaurant's reputation grew, patrons began to gather and watch through the window as the pizzas were made. They would stand in line for an hour or more to sample the pizza and pasta specialties created in the original restaurant.
There was just one location then and no trip to the city was complete with out stopping to eat at Valentino's!
About three years after the 1971 purchase of Valentino's, members of the Messineo and Alesio families carefully formulated plans to expand into additional locations. Through controlled expansion, and an elaborate system of quality controls, Valentino's steadily grew. In 1990, Valentino's opened its first Valentino's To-Go location, offering take out service only. These stores were an immediate success. Today there are more than 18 successful To-Go locations operating.
