OUR STORY
THE TILDA’S
WOOD-FIRED PIZZA STORY
Fast forward to 2009, after working with her Dad and other family members who owned (and still do) some of the most successful restaurants in Rochester, Linda struck out on her own and opened Pi Wood-Fired Pizza in NW Rochester. It was one of the very first successful fast-casual, wood-fired pizza restaurants in the entire US. With Pi, Linda wanted to create a restaurant with great food in a great atmosphere, with great customer service.
It’s now 2021, and Linda still has that same passion for everything that has made Pi a success.
With Tilda’s (her Dad’s childhood nickname for her), her passion for great food and service in a cool, historic downtown environment has come to life. She’s also brought everything she’s learned from her Dad about running the kind of restaurant that keeps people coming back.
Fresh ingredients are the cornerstone to making not only great wood-fired pizza, but amazing pasta dishes, fresh salads and more. The custom-built wood-fired pizza oven instills a flavor that isn’t found with traditional pizza ovens. When you’re downtown, come by and say hello. Enjoy a glass of wine or beer, order some great food and be confident in knowing you’re eating some of the best food around.
How did the pizza “Air Force’s Favorite” get its name?
Tilda’s mom grew up on a farm up North. She loved the farm and all the animals but always wanted a horse. She was unable to get one so she trained her cow Air Force to be a ”horse”.
As an adult, Tilda’s mom was able to fulfill her dream of having horses, but Air Force will always be her favorite!
