"This new frozen pizza venture marks our first retail expansion outside of New England," Tom Sterrett, president and CEO of Papa Gino's, said in the release. "When I think of quality products and fresh ingredients, Joe Faro comes to mind — his trailblazing food business and innovative production capabilities through state-of-the-art equipment led us to this collaboration. Our partnership with Artisan Chef Manufacturing Company and the new production methods allows us to bring our signature taste to neighborhoods nationwide through distribution in Walmart and other retailers. Based on the success of this partnership, we intend to expand our product innovation work with Artisan to deliver the highest quality Papa Gino's products to customers near and far."
