We like to think of Salvo's as one big happy family which includes all members of the Salvo's team, old and new. If you have worked at Salvo's at any point in time over our many years in business then we would dearly love to hear from you and what you have been up to since you flew the Salvo's nest. Please use our flown the nest form to let us know what you are now up to. If you have any pictures of your own then why not send them to us on email to be included in this gallery below (email address is at the very bottom of this page). And if you are still in contact with any former staff members who are not listed below then why not give them a nudge to contribute, as we want to have as many staff memories as possible on our web site.

Gip was with bubbly, Gai, Jjohn was a free spirit and the other brother, Is it Luigi had small children. Pinot was always singing while making his pizzas. I remember when I first started there Pamela was in the kitchen with Kevin and Miguel then Keiran came along.
