COVINGTON, Va. – Victor Cucci, the founder of Cucci’s Pizzeria, passed away Thursday night at age 68.
This comes after the Cucci family had to close the Covington pizzeria for about a week after Cucci was sent to the Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital with the coronavirus.
His restaurant has been a staple in our region since it opened in 1977, and when the restaurant closed briefly this week Cucci and his family received ample support from community members.
A private funeral service will be held on Tuesday, May 18.
