Our Story
With Love... and Italchos.
After 15 years in the restaurant business, owner Jeannie Terilli took a hiatus from the hustle of the food industry and started her own landscape company. After digging 5-gallon holes in the Texas summer heat, she seriously reconsidered her decision. Still uncertain, she flipped a coin to decide whether or not to go back into the restaurant business, asking God to control the coin in the air and land it with her fate. Heads for opening a restaurant, tails for continuing to dig those holes. The coin landed heads and Jeannie went back into the restaurant business naming it after her family name, Terilli. Thus Terilli's Restaurant was born.
Jeannie wanted to serve pizza but decided against this because of her family and friends currently in the pizza business. In the past, she sold so many nachos in her previous restaurant, she decided to create her own version of pizza and created a pizza chip, which became a registered trademark today called the “Italchos.” The chips are made fresh daily in house from a special recipe. Haven’t tried them? Get ready to be hooked.
Here at Terilli's all of our patrons are considered family. Our restaurant is owned and operated by members of the Terilli family.
We look forward to serving you soon.
