Italian Village Pizza Gets Approval for Liquor License to Serve Beer, Wine

Ross Township Commissioners approved 9-0 Monday a request by the owner of Italian Village Pizza at 4885 McKnight Road to transfer a restaurant liquor license into Ross from the Township of Upper St. Clair. 

The goal is to serve beer and wine with dinner, if customers would like it, Frank Veltri told the commissioners Monday. 

"It is a full liquor license but we're not going to be practicing it," he said.

The pizza shop has been in business for two years on McKnight Road, he said. 

The restaurant is owned by FVAV, Inc.

The license being transferred is owned by CPTJ Imagine That Inc., of 631 Painters Run Road. The license is in "safekeeping" status, which means it is current but not being used.
