Tom Harrison never thought that someday he would be selling Valentino's pizza slices to thousands of Husker fans at Memorial Stadium.
At 17 years old, he got a job mixing up dough and preparing pizza at Valentino's original location at 35th and Holdrege streets. It was the start of a lifetime career for Harrison, who later became general manager for Premier Catering — the catering division of Valentino's that has overseen food services for Memorial Stadium's suites since 1999, five years after Val's began dishing out slices to fans.
Even with a vast menu available, Harrison said one thing always stayed evident.
