ABOUT OUR STORY PRODUCTS SERVICES RECIPES CAREERS ORDER ONLINE CONTACT Rich History Our Story Villari Foods Family. Quality. Tradition. Founded in 1925 by Sam Villari, Villari Foods is still a family-owned business with a rich history. As a teenager, Sam came to America from Italy, instilled with the value Italians place on pure, good food as an integral part of family and social life. He started his business with little but a dream as a butcher shop in Philadelphia’s 9th Street Italian Market. At Villari Foods today, we combine our unwavering commitment to our beginnings as an artisan, Italian butcher shop with our capacity to keep pace with evolving customer demands. We pay attention to detail and pride ourselves on hand-cuts, exceeding expectations for great taste, good health, variety, value, convenience and creativity in the kitchen. With the fourth Villari generation now entering the business, our family remains dedicated to ensuring an exceptional experience for all who enjoy our products. While our butcher shop is a little bit bigger now, we remain committed to our roots. We offer a wide variety of quality pork and other meat products for retail, foodservice and export markets. We understand and are responding to consumer preferences for meat products that are locally sourced, humanely raised, antibiotic/hormone/steroid free, and organic. And we’re well known for our smoked products. As part of Villari Foods, we also have our own livestock and trucking operations, which allows for greater quality control and extraordinary customer service, including superior delivery options. We partner with local farms and are committed to environmental sustainability. Villari Foods Through the Years 1911 Sam Villari, just 16 years old, emigrates from Sicily, Italy, with nothing but the clothes on his back and joins his sister and her family in Philadelphia, Pa. 1915 Sam and his brother-in-law open a retail meat store in Phildelphia's 9th Street Italian Market. From the beginning, Sam took great care to ensure quality for his customers. He would walk more than 40 miles to Lancaster, Pa, buy a steer, walk it back to Philadelphia, and process it behind his store. 1917 A momentous occasion, as Sam is able to buy a used truck. He is often seen in his distinctive, wood-sided truck with the livestock he hand-selected at market. Future generations of the Villari family would continue to revere Sam's original red truck as a symbol of the company's ongoing dedication to quality products and customers' delight.
