Salvatore Mancino, 78, of Richland, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026. Born in Monte di Procida, Italy, on Jan. 1, 1948, he was the son of the late Enrico and Teresa Mancino.
Salvatore emigrated to the United States in 1972. Shortly after arriving, he started his own pizza business in Brooklyn, NY. He later settled in Lebanon, PA, where he went on to own and operate many successful restaurants and pizza shops throughout the Lebanon area and beyond. Through his hard work, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit, he built a lasting legacy in the community.
Beyond his family and career, Sal had many interests and passions. He enjoyed skiing, cheering for his beloved Napoli soccer club, playing cards with friends, traveling, and spending time with family and loved ones. He will be remembered for his larger-than-life personality, his unforgettable laugh, and his fearless approach to life.
He is survived by his wife, Katy Mancino (Santana), and their daughter, Kassandra Mancino; and sons from his first marriage to Albina Mancino, Enrico Mancino, and his wife, Justina, and Franco Mancino, and his wife, Clarissa.
He is also survived by his cherished grandchildren, Jude Vincent Mancino, Julia Therez Mancino, and Ilaria Maria Mancino; sister, Luisa Malvone; and brothers, Arcangelo Mancino and Loreto Mancino.
