Sal’s Emergency Pizza Services has opened its doors in Bossier City to serve delicious pizzas and more. Co-owned by a former police officer and a businessman, the pizzeria aims to create a community-focused environment and plans to expand its menu and locations as it grows.
Bossier City, La. — A new pizzeria, Sal’s Emergency Pizza Services, has officially opened its doors in Bossier City on Thursday, August 28, 2025. Co-owned by former police officer Francis “Mo” Mogavero and businessman Sal Mansour, the eatery aims to cater to the heavy vehicular traffic on Benton Road by offering a variety of pizza options and other dishes.
Francis “Mo” Mogavero brings a unique background to the food industry, having served as a police officer for 20 years in Shreveport before venturing into restaurant management. Mogavero, who relocated from San Diego to Miami before finally settling down in Shreveport, found his calling in the culinary world after a chance meeting with a police officer who informed him about job openings in law enforcement. Through his career, Mogavero states that his time in the Shreveport police department helped him mature and broaden his perspective on the world.
After advancing to the rank of sergeant, Mogavero recognized a shift in his edge and felt it was time to pursue a different path. He formed a partnership with Mansour, who also has a background in the restaurant business. Together, they initially invested in a takeout venture that specialized in wings and rice. Following this successful endeavor, the duo seized the opportunity to establish their first pizzeria.
Sal’s Emergency Pizza Services will focus first on a diverse menu of pizzas, with plans to expand into pasta dishes and homemade sauces. The larger space of the new location allows the owners to cater to various events, fostering a community-focused environment. Respective to their vision, the owners prioritize community satisfaction and aim to bring happiness to patrons instead of solely concentrating on financial gain. They expressed aspirations to expand into additional locations if their Bossier City venture proves successful.
The owners plan to officially launch the restaurant to the public at the beginning of September 2025, inviting community members to experience their culinary offerings and the passion behind their new venture. With a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction and a commitment to quality, Sal’s Emergency Pizza Services is poised to become a staple dining location in the area.
