Exciting News for Byron Pizza Lovers

If you've never had a chance to get to Alfano's in Oregon or Rochelle, even, it appears I have some good news for you if you were hoping they'd get just a bit closer to Rockford.

According to this Facebook post, Alfano's is coming to Byron. Shared by Kathy Jacobs Heather, it says:

ALFANO’s ! I am so excited to see that my favorite Pizza is coming to Byron! I can hardly wait to finally get great pizza and pasta♥️ 😁

There's already some pretty good pizza and pasta in Byron, but if this is true, it's just another great option. When I get more information, I'll be sure to pass it on.
