Anichini Brothers traces its origins to the early 1920s, when Silvio Anichini and his brothers emigrated from Lucca, a picturesque town in Italy’s Tuscan region. In 1925, they established a small grocery store that quickly gained recognition for its prime cuts of meat and exceptional sausages. With a commitment to quality and service, Anichini Brothers became a trusted name, earning a reputation as a leader in Italian Sausage value and craftsmanship.
Recognizing the expanding pizza market within the meat industry, Silvio and his son-in-law, Salvatore Gaddini, developed a sausage recipe that set a new standard for flavor and quality. Decades later, Anichini Brothers remains a cornerstone of the Chicago pizza scene, revered for its dedication to delivering the same authentic, great-tasting sausage that has topped the most popular pizzas in the Chicagoland area, for decades.
Over time, the company expanded its offerings to include premium cheeses, tomatoes, flour, oils, and other essential pizza ingredients, catering to the evolving needs of its customers. In 2008, Anichini Brothers achieved USDA certification, enabling the company to share its expertise with a growing global market. Today, Anichini Brothers is still family owned and operated, celebrating 100years of continuing to uphold its legacy of quality, offering wholesale buyers a trusted partner for premium pizza ingredients that drive success in the competitive foodservice industry.
As a family, we are very humbled and grateful for those who have gone before us with their faith and pioneering spirit, leaving their homeland, in search of a better life in America yet not forgetting their faith and rich traditions of their homeland.
