Sal'sStory

Pegasus Restaurant has been a beloved part of the community since 1984—known for hearty meals, friendly service, and a family-first atmosphere. Today, that legacy proudly continues under the ownership of Sal, a passionate restaurateur who embodies the American dream.

Sal came to the United States from Turkey at age 16. Like many in the industry, he started as a dishwasher and working long hours in restaurant kitchens while attending high school and later earning a college degree in Criminal Justice and Business. His dedication, work ethic, and love for hospitality never wavered.

In 2017, Sal followed his passion and purchased his first restaurant, the Elmer Diner. Since then, he has continued to grow in the restaurant world with an unwavering commitment to quality, community, and his team.

Sal also had the privilege of working alongside Elias Isihos, the original owner of Pegasus Restaurant and who successfully led the business for over 40 years. Elias passed the torch to Sal with confidence, knowing the tradition would be preserved and elevated for generations to come. Although retired, Elias remains close to the Pegasus family, always offering his support and wisdom to help the restaurant thrive.

At Pegasus Restaurant, we’re proud to serve more than just great food, we serve tradition, ambition, and heart. Thank You for being a part of our family!
