ABOUT US

It is with pride, joy, and love that we bring Maglio’s Pizza to the Midlothian area! Owners Frank Maglio and Gina Simmons, brother and sister, always wanted to open a restaurant where families were welcomed and celebrated, great food and superior service were served, and our Italian traditions carried on. Growing up in a big Italian family along with our brother Tom, we always remembered going to Nanny and Pop-Pop’s house on Sunday for an amazing Italian dinner filled with great food, stories, and love. Our time together eating was the glue that held our crazy family together. No matter the disagreements during the week, rough weeks at school or work, we always had Sundays! We can still smell the gravy (sauce) cooking as we pulled up to the front door. We wouldn’t eat all day in hopes of filling our bellies with Nanny’s amazing spaghetti, meatballs, chicken Parmesan…it was an all-out feast!

With our grandparents gone, it was very important to all of us to carry on the traditions, and we hope our customers get a glimpse of all the great food we had the opportunity to enjoy! We are fortunate to still have our Mom and Dad to help with this journey. You will find them in either our Raleigh or new VA locations, always with a smile and warm heart. They truly want us to be successful because they believe in our dream to serve local communities with family dinner time that unfortunately isn’t celebrated like it once was.

Now, the restaurant has passed over to new owner and long-time employee Luis Rodriguez, who shares our passion for family, food, and tradition. We have a true at-home feel in our restaurant where you are always welcome, spoken to, and most importantly thanked for your continued support as we continue this legacy.

As my Nanny and Pop-Pop used to say, “Mangia, Mangia, eat, eat!!!”
