Schelper says that he's always been an entrepreneur. "Ever since I was nine, I was looking for ways to make money. I had paper routes, I shoveled snow, I did house-sitting. You name it. In college, I had more jobs than you'd ever care to know."
Davanni's began life in 1975 as Pontillo's, an offshoot of a New York family pizza restaurant, opening on Grand and Cleveland Avenues in St. Paul. "New York pizza was better than any other Twin Cities pizza back then," says Schelper. "We saw that it was a product with a niche, and that there was a vacuum here to be filled. We were the first to bring real New York pizza to town."
Other firsts, according to Schelper, were the concepts of calling ahead with your order, the open kitchen ("We had a show to put on."), the wallet-size menu for take-outs, and hot hoagie sandwiches.
Today Davanni’s employs around 1000 people at their 21 Twin Cities Locations. | |
