Our Story
Law books, traded for cookbooks.
Figlio Wood Fired Pizza was founded in 1991 by Peter and Laurie Danis. Peter and Laurie first met at Ohio State University's College of Law, but little did they know that they would eventually trade their law books for cookbooks and find happiness in the kitchen rather than the courtroom.
Peter and Laurie practiced law for a number of years. Then, on the evening their first child was born, everything changed. Fueled by a desire to feel that same passion and excitement every single day, they decided to leave their legal careers to open a gourmet pizza and pasta restaurant in Columbus, where great food, a welcoming energy, and the warmth of a wood-fired kitchen could bring people together.
It worked. For more than three decades, it's been all about Pizza, Pasta, and Passion.
