opened the Bassett Street restaurant in 1997
'One of Madison's best — if not most overlooked — pizza parlors' (Kalk Derby, 2005), with about 50 kinds of pizza by the slice. Sal Elmazi came from Albania to New York in 1969; the family ran Best Italian Pizza at Broadway and Canal before moving to Madison in 1997.
The Badger Herald (Sept. 2002): 'The location [313 State] has been known as Casa Bianca since Elmazi bought Sal's Pizza in 1999'; before Ian's the downtown slice market was 'just the two Casa Biancas and Falbo Bros., 622 University Ave.' Jimmy Pashaj bought the State Street store from Nafi Elmazi in spring 2002 and renamed it Pizza di Roma on Sept. 17, 2002.
