A new generation is rising to take charge of Pizza Amore as the Grand Island pizzeria adds a new North Tonawanda location later this month. At 13, Devon Perri was there when her parents, Dave and Diana Perri, started Pizza Amore Wood Fire, a quick-service pizza trailer key to the rise of Buffalo-area food trucks in 2011.

She was there, two years later, when the family opened Pizza Amore's first brick-and-mortar, in Grand Island attached to a Sunoco gas station. She was there for several Augusts at the Erie County Fair, where Pizza Amore grew a Southtowns following, and many concerts at Artpark, where the pizza trailer provided preconcert fuel.
