In 1965, Francesco Porco and his wife arriving in the country with their son Joseph and her three sisters. Beginning in the fall of 1966, the owner of the restaurant Au P’tit Café, Road Saint-Jean in La Prairie, suggests that Francesco share its local offering its specialty-pizza and pasta-in return for royalties. Imagine for a moment Francesco who, after buying his cheese and other ingredients he needs, realizes he has no more money for the purchase of pepperoni to start his restaurant! But God watch over him because the same day, he found a 50 $ on the ground ... This is the beginning of COMO Pizzeria.

Shortly thereafter, things are going so well that he finds himself in the Vieux-La Prairie, in front of the church, in a little room with six tables. The clientele is faithful and the restaurant is often full to bursting. After 18 months of operations, we realize that we were too at narrow.

Thanks to the intervention of "mama", Joseph comes to work with his father in 1976. His younger brother, Robert, began his apprenticeship in 1981 at the age of 9 years. He worked throughout his studies until it completes its Commerce Degree with a specialty in computer science.

The relay is solid at COMO Pizzeria because Dominic and Paolo, the two sons of Joseph, are also part of the staff. At 60 years, Francesco would therefore semi retires until it reaches 65 years and retires permanently. Trade runs thoroughly of train, so sometimes we had to wait nearly two hours to get into his pizza delivery.

In 1969, Francesco buys a piece of land where he built on the current site, a 80 seats restaurant. In 1970, this is the official grand opening with majorettes and all the dignitaries of the city at the time. From the outset, trade with its 20 employees is popular and became an institution in La Prairie.

The business is going so well that COMO Pizzeria knows three periods of renovations over the years. The latest of which dates back to 1990, is perhaps the turning point. This is a major investment and the results are immediate with a major increase in turnover.

Joseph is pensive; It is awaiting the right time to open a second branch. In the fall of 1998, he decided; He is finally ready to take the plunge into Delson and road 132. It began construction in February 1999. When Joseph Porco, well supported by his right arm, his brother Robert, decided to open a new restaurant, it does not just about ... This is a huge restaurant / bar / terrace of 250 seats, 77 employees and a parking for 130 cars, supported by a fleet of 14 cars for delivery at peak times, like at the branch in La Prairie.

Today, COMO Pizzeria represents a company with more than 180 employees, working in two restaurants, a restaurant with 80 seats in La Prairie and 350 seats in Delson. During peak hours, COMO offers a fleet of over 32 vehicles to serve quickly a wide bassin population.

From the age of 13 years, Joseph works with his father after school and on weekends. He discovered the secrets of pizza by experimenting with the best ingredients. As it is not always easy to work with the father, he opened a business in 1972 with his brother (Jarry Pizza restaurant today - high-end Di Menna). He later became manager of the Miss Italia in Longueuil before opening a counter delivery in Rosemont, Nina Pizzeria.

At this time, there are already 33 pizzerias in the area but that's no problem, Joseph was convinced that his pizza is the best. The four first years, his wife and her work as déchainés and four autos delivery crisscross the neighborhood without stopping.

-The quality of the food. We use the best ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil, tomatoes from Italy, vegetables premium regardless the price. - We are listening to the customer. And that is probably why, as usual for the family Porco, the success has not kept waiting. Win smoothly and we are very pleased with the results.
