August Employees of the Month
Congratulations to our seven employees of the month. Your hard work and dedication makes you true ambassadors of “The Spinato’s Experience”.

Jerry Caldera
Tempe Location
Jerry has been with us for many years. He is our heart of house lead, and doer of all deeds! Jerry can work just about every position. He is always making us laugh with his voices, songs & jokes, while simultaneously rocking out all his kitchen shifts. Jerry is a beast to say the least, and we are so glad to have him!
Thank you, Jerry!
Michael Ruiz
North Phoenix Location
Michael is one of our outstanding kitchen employees that can make just about every item we serve – Pizzas, salads, appetizers and everything in between. He took no time at all to assimilate into our family, and he’s here so much we can’t imagine life without him! We are very proud to have him as part our family, serving your family.
You’re the best, Michael!


Jerry Bishop
Central Phoenix Location (Front of the House)
Jerry is an amazing delivery driver that always goes the extra mile for our guests. He is always thinking of new ways to make your delivery experience unique and special – just the antiques he so often hunts for! Jerry not only has his own antique business, but he also runs his own bike shop, and is always willing to lend a hand as our resident “bike guy”. He sure is a man of many talents! If you have the pleasure of having your delivery order taken by Jerry make sure to give him a high five!
Thank you for your hard work, Jerry!
Kari Etsitty
Central Phoenix Location (Heart of the House)
Kari has been with us since we relocated our Central Phoenix location almost two years ago. Kari can handle any night that is thrown at her with little to no assistance needed. If you have enjoyed a beautiful salad or Caprese with that perfect balsamic drizzle that looks like it came from a magazine, Kari was probably the artist behind it! Kari is not only an artist inside the kitchen but enjoys drawing outside of work as well. Kari expanded her already large family (she’s the oldest of 10!) when she joined us, and we are so grateful to have her. Come on by and order a Caprese or Bruschetta, and see the artistry that Kari can put on a plate!
Great work, Kari!


Cathy Murray
Scottsdale Location
Cathy has been here for just under a year, and she has immediately been a great addition to the family. Cathy is the kind of employee that is always willing to help out in any area needed at any time. She always comes to work with a smile on her face and stupendous attitude. We really appreciate all of her hard work and we know our guests do too!
Congratulations, Cathy!
Janet Blau
Ahwatukee Location (Front of the House)
Janet has been with Spinato’s for a just about two years. She started out as a guest at our location and thought this would be an amazing place to work! She was a wonderful guest to have in our restaurant and turned out to be an even better team member! Janet has exceeded our expectations and I hope that you will get the opportunity to have her take care of you in our restaurant.
Thank you, Janet!


Sebastian Frances
Ahwatukee Location (Heart of the House)
Sebastian is no stranger to this award and continues to show his dedication and commitment to excellence! He has a contagious smile and an amazing attitude that projects to anyone who is nearby. You can always count on him to provide the best quality product and supply the management team with an abundance of candy on any given day. Thank you for your great attitude and for always producing the highest quality food to our guests.
We are so happy to have you, Sebastian!
