Spitony's Pizza

Spitony's Pizza has been a family tradition since 1975. It was started by Spiro Chakalos and his brother Tony Harris. Putting their names together wasn't the only thing they incorporated to make Spitonys unique and successful. They merged their families into the entire daily operation which continues today 3 generations later. Together at YiaYia's house in Vourvoura, a village in southern Greece, Spiro who immigrated to the United States with his wife Demetra in 1956 came with nothing but pocket change and an eagerness to work hard. They together struggled to learn the language and to live the dream of owning their own business. In 1971 they purchased the property in New Baltimore Virginia where Spitonys is today. Today you can still see Bill with wife Tracey and children Zack, Alex and Ryan working along side with their YiaYia Demetra Chakalos.Originally Spitonys started as a snack bar located inside of a Stuckey's candy and gift shop. 1975 a pizza oven was installed in the snack bar and Spitony's was born. The Stuckey's building closed in 1978 and Spitonys continued its own separate business.
