MANVILLE: Pizza, BBQ businesses thanked by council

By Mary Ellen Day, Special Writer
   Two businesses were recognized at Monday night’s Borough Council meeting for their support of Manville. Manville Pizza and Manville BBQ both received a proclamation from mayor and Borough Council.
   Mayor Angelo Corradino said the borough’s Progress & Development Committee recognizes businesses that make the community unique.
   Manville Pizza was established in 1969 by Vinnie D’Aniello in the Rustic Mall and moved to their current location on South Main Street. The family business is now operated by his son, Anthony, and supports community support and employment.
The mayor on behalf of the council thanked and congratulated Manville Pizza and the D’Aniello family for their “invaluable contribution to our community for the past 44 years and wish them many future years of good health and prosperity.”
The whole D’Aniello family came to the meeting to see the father and son receive the proclamation. Anthony said, “We are very grateful to the mayor and council and the committee for the proclamation. It was very good and it was nice,” he said.
Manville BBQ on South Main Street was established in 2011 by Ricardo Torres. Mr. Torres serves traditional wood-fired barbecue in the style of Mr. Torres’ home country of Uruguay.
 ”I try to do it with the best of my knowledge and heart and I think that it is something that the people in Manville would be proud of some type of restaurant like this,” said Mr. Torres.
   ”I am doing the best that I can and I hope that they continue to patronize. If you have not been there before, I suggest that you come and see how you like it,” he said.
Councilman Steve Szabo said Manville Pizza has sponsored programs for youth and adults, donated food during times of devastation, and support the Rescue Squad and auxiliary by participating in the Taste of Manville fundraiser.
   ”We are grateful that they remained in town after the demolition of Rustic Mall,” Mr. Szabo said.
