New pizzamakers purchase Spoleto’s

Two sisters with ties to Mt. Angel have purchased Spoleto’s Pizza in Mt. Angel.
Karen Scott and Sarah Miller, whose maiden name was Doran, along with their husbands, took over ownership June 1 with the re-opening July 26.

“Owning a restaurant has always been one of my goals,” Scott said. “I guess now it’s one thing I can cross off my to-do list!”

The day-to-day management of the restaurant will be by their brother, Brian Doran. Their father, Ken Doran, will manage the liquor and lottery sides of the business. The sisters are keeping the Spoleto’s menu largely intact and will continue to feature the pizza and calzones. New menu additions include gelato, new pizza combinations, and a beer and wine menu featuring local selections.

Miller and Scott become the third generation of Doran restaurateurs, following in the footsteps of their grandmother, Bea Doran, and their parents, Ken and Margaret Doran.
