WHEATFIELD — The makers of Original Pizza Logs have will break ground on its new Wheatfield facility at 10 a.m. Tuesday, marking the latest chapter in the story of a company that started making its products by hand in the back of a Niagara Falls convenience store more than a quarter-century ago.
Jason Cordova, the owner of Finger Food Products, Inc., the maker of Original Pizza Logs, and an assortment of county, town and city leaders will be on-hand at a groundbreaking ceremony where Cordova’s flagship product is set to take center stage — with samples sure to be on-hand.
“We’re pleased with our company’s growth profile since we began partnering with the Niagara County Center for Economic Development,” Cordova said. He noted that, prior to acquiring the site where the Original Pizza Logs manufacturing facility is set to be built, he utilized “business incubator” space at the Vantage Point building.
The chairwoman of the Niagara County Legislature’s Economic Development Committee, Legislator Kathryn Lance, R-Wheatfield, said county officials were pleased to be retaining a popular brand associated with Western New York in the county.
“People know that Original Pizza Logs grew up here, in Niagara County, in the same way they associate chicken wings with Buffalo,” Lance said. “We were able to provide an environment that fostered private capital investment and job creation, and we are glad that Original Pizza Logs will continue to be a Niagara County brand.”
