Our Team 

Co-owner and chef.

Chris has worked in a kitchen since high school, falling in love with being a chef. After being a successful kitchen manager in Blacksburg, Chris was ready for a new challenge. In 2015, he got that challenge in the opportunity to own Zeppolis. When he is not at Zeppoli’s, Chris loves spending time with his daughter Sophia and cooking at home. He is also a huge Hokie fan.

Co-owner.
