History
Brothers has an origin rich in tradition. In the 1950's Rose's father, Angelo, and his two brothers opened a pizza shop in Brooklyn, N.Y., that has since added locations on Long Island and in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Angelo came to State College in the 1960's and opened up the first Brothers in the Nittany Mall. As his pizza became a local favorite, Brothers then picked up a location on College Avenue and in 1983 opened up in Milesburg where Rose's brother, Joe Pistone, Rose and Eddie purchased the restaurant from Angelo and one of his brothers. Eddie and Rose were married in 1985 and opened their own Brothers location in Centre Hall in 1988 where later their children, Angela and Gino helped with the business over the years. With this foundation in family and tradition, Brothers has established loyal customers over the years who return for the homey Italian food, quality service and great prices.
