Justin Gallant & Eva Gallant
Founders of Pier Pizza

Having learned the art of "pizza making" from two Italian brothers, Justin has brought the craft to Rhode Island. "After searching for good pizza in Rhode Island for several years, my wife, Eva, and I decided it was time for Rhode Island to experience pizza the way it was meant to be," notes Justin. Currently, Pier Pizza Company owns only the Wakefield location. Justin and Eva have shifted their focus from opening individual locations to building a strong franchise organization. With locations being eyed in Newport and Westerly, careful expansion plans are in the works.
