About Zullo's Markets

Zullo's is an Illinois corporation--a brand--with a history. Since 2009, Adriana has operated Zullo's Markets, LLC and Zullo's, Inc. Through the former, she and Chef Christian serve sustainable pizza, fiadoni (hand pies) zeppole (Italian donuts) and paninis among other Italian recipes, to food-obsessed market-goers at Chicagoland's most prestigious farmers' markets. Through Zullo's, Inc., these sustainability warriors provide green catering for parties of up to five-thousand.

We became a B Corp because we're stubborn enough to believe that through cooking, we can change the world--producing healthier, happier citizens on a healthier, happier planet. As a B Corp, we strive to profit and grow while balancing our shareholders' needs with those of our employees, our community, and our environment.

The Change We Seek®

Zullo's found Adriana Marzullo learned her cooking chops in the kitchen of her childhood home, where generations of Marzullo women would come
together to assemble holiday feasts. The company's central insight is this--the traiditional world of rural Italy was a sustainable world. Adriana's Italian
grandmas --her nonnas--cooked in a world where ingredients were fresh and untainted by additives. Where cooks knew their farmers, and farm animals ranged unfettered.
Where foodstuffs were gown close at hand.

But recreating that world in today's environment of genetic modification and factory farming is no simple feat. The gastronomic and sustainability expertise of
Chef Greg Christian helps Zullo's perform that feat. With his deep knowledge of local sourcing, relationships with Chicagoland-area farmers, and abundant "chefness," Christian adds a cup and a pinch of "can do" to Adriana's overarching vision.
