Vincenzo’s Newhall is planning to host a Marvels of Magic celebration to commemorate their 37th anniversary.

One of the SCV’s longest enduring restaurants got its start in the SCV before many of the community’s residents.

To commemorate this year’s 37th anniversary, Vincenzo’s Newhall will premier a show like never seen before in Santa Clarita, MARVELS OF MAGIC an Intimate Star Studded Magic Castle Performers Event on June 18, 2016.

The identity of the surprise celebrity guest can only be shown and spoken of inside of the restaurant due to his network TV contract.

Steven Katz, celebrating his third year as owner is also upgrading one of the dining rooms to boast Ram images and memorabilia in anticipation of the forthcoming football team.

Vincenzo’s Newhall has the Largest Big Screen in SCV, new food and beverage options and a larger stage for the live entertainment.

Weekly Entertainment this year will include Open Mic Night, Salsa Sundays, Comedy nights, Trivia and of course Great Local Musicians with Live Music every Weekend.

Vincenzo’s is a well-known Santa Clarita eatery, offering pizza, pasta, salads and live entertainment, from Bluegrass to Classic Rock and Roll and dance music to singer/songwriters.

The Vincenzo’s story began in 1978 when former owner Bob Krauss relocated his family from Pittsburgh, Penn. to the Santa Clarita Valley. Soon after arriving, he realized that he sorely missed the hand-tossed, Napoli-style crust pizzas he used to get at Vincent’s Pizza Park in Pittsburgh. So, the owner of Vincent’s invited him back and showed him his famous pizza crust recipe. Krauss returned to Newhall, changed his name to Vincenzo and opened up the first Vincenzo’s Pizza at its current location on Lyons Avenue in 1979. In 1983 he partnered with John Hudock, who was also from Pittsburgh and also a big fan of Vincent’s pizza from back home.

Together, the two men expanded the Vincenzo’s enterprise with new locations in the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys. Those stores were sold off to individual owner/operators in 1985 and a commissary was built to handle production and distribution, so the quality and consistency of the pizza dough could be ensured for all of the stores.

Vincenzo passed away after just 20 years in the pizza business, but Hudock continues to handle manufacturing, distribution of the pizza dough, licensing of additional stores and quality control.

Today the original Vincenzo’s Pizza on Lyons Avenue in Newhall remains a hot spot for local families to gather, eat pizza and listen to live music. Vincenzo’s also features a wide variety of pastas, salads, calzones, sandwiches and appetizers.
