Conceived by Coby Shultz, one half of the dynamic duo behind Ames Bros, the Seattle-based graphic design agency, the paintings places the legendary creature identified all through the Pacific Northwest in a clumsy scenario. “It’s been unattainable to work on this and never stomach snort—the considered ‘Squatch’ being compelled to carry out and stuffed into an uncomfortable clown swimsuit,” defined Shultz. “He has stage fright and is admittedly doing his greatest up there on the massive stage.”
Pagliacci Pizza’s founder Dorene Centioli-McTigue named the corporate in honor of the traditional Italian opera. “My household is admittedly massive on opera,” she stated. “We simply thought, what extra buffoonery than to open a pizza place. Plus, we have now a cousin who was an opera singer.”

Buffoonery apart, from the start Pagliacci Pizza has been an enormous supporter of cultural establishments. “All through our historical past we’ve had partnerships with numerous arts organizations,” stated Michelle Galvin, Pagliacci Pizza’s Chief Monetary Officer. “From Seattle Rep and Pacific Northwest Ballet to many smaller arts organizations, we really feel strongly about our dedication to arts in our group.”
“Working with Pagliacci Pizza is such a serendipitous alternative! There is no higher partnership than pizza and opera,” stated Julia Curns-Welch, Seattle Opera’s Affiliate Director of Growth for Institutional Giving.
