Best Brotherly Love Involving Pizza
Venito's Pizza
Venito's Pizza owner Merdan Ibrahim has employed his younger brothers (up to four at a time) at his Church Street eatery, and the family affair works well. Merdan is hands-on, often delivering pies himself. The Ibrahims hail from Northern Iraq, where an uncle lost his life under Saddam Hussein's regime. But the Brothers Ibrahim radiate positive karma, with obvious gratitude for life in the U. S. As for the popular Kurdistan dish of tomato-paste-based soup filled with white beans and chunks of beef, and served with white rice and fried noodles? Nowhere to be found on Venito's menu. No worries. The pizza, and brotherly love, will suffice. William Williams
