Fresh Ingredients. Killer Comfort Food.
The very first Panino’s Italian restaurant was opened in downtown Colorado Springs by Everetta Lou and Tony Frasca in 1974 and was originally named Pizza Plus. In fact, two very popular items on the Panino’s menu, the Big T pizza, and the Lou’s Best pizza, are named after the founders. In 1982 the second Pizza Plus was opened on 8th Street in the Broadmoor area.
