Meet Julianne Russo Kelty

Growing up in a family of eleven, all traditions revolved around food and family. Back then, her grandma Russo came over each Sunday night for an Italian feast entirely made from scratch. With the siblings now grown and three children of her own, Julianne inherited the role of designated family cook.

Seeing that real Italian cooking was no longer present in the pizza shop franchises, she decided to start her own in 2007 to bring back traditional, fresh, Italian classics with Mama Julianne's Strongsville.

Since then, Julianne has been whipping up the freshest authentic creations in her shop with her three sons, Robert, Vincent and David.
