​The Buscemi success story had its beginning in 1955 when a Detroiter, by the name of Paul A. Buscemi, acquired a small party store with very little capital but a lot of determination. A short time later, he began the present day Buscemi fast food line with
the inception of his own version of the East Coast hoagie sandwich. Being the first to introduce the Italian submarine sandwich to the Detroit area, he realized his first success. The names “Torpedo”® and “Baby Sub”® were given to the sandwiches that management believes were,and still are, the finest Italian Submarine sandwiches on the market today.

 

As the sandwich caught on, Mr. Buscemi directed his efforts toward the creation of home style pizza. After years of experimentation with dough, sauce, and other ingredients, he perfected what Management believes is today the most delicious Italian pizza available in the fast-food market anywhere.

This is more than just a business—it’s our family’s passion, reimagined for the next era.
