Wear Your Heritage. Share the Pride.

I’m Sal, the proud Italian American behind Paisano Prints—a place where heritage meets humor. Whether it’s a Sunday sauce joke, a shout-out to Nonna, or a nod to the old country, I’ve always loved finding creative ways to celebrate what it means to grow up Italian American. If it’s got a flag, garlic, or a family nickname, you can bet I’m putting it on a shirt.

Why I Started the Shop

Looking around for some shirts to show off my pride, I realized there wasn’t a store that truly reflected our shared experience. I wanted something equal parts funny, proud, and rooted in tradition. Print-on-demand gave me the chance to bring those ideas to life and share them with the community.

What Makes Paisano Prints Different

  • Original Designs: Every shirt is created in-house—designed by someone who gets what it means to grow up with cannoli, cousins, and Catholic guilt.
  • Spaghetti-Level Humor: We’re not just printing Italian flags—we’re printing punchlines Nonna would raise an eyebrow at (and secretly laugh at too).
  • Premium Materials: Soft, breathable cotton and durable inks that hold up through Sunday dinner and beyond.
  • Local Production: Orders in the U.S. ship from the U.S., and we print closer to you when possible—less waiting, less carbon footprint.
  • Small Business, Big Heart: This isn’t some giant print factory. It’s a small shop with a lot of love for our culture and our customers.

Our Mission

To help Italian Americans wear their pride loud and proud—whether you’re repping your region, your Nonna, or your love of pasta—with quality shirts that feel like family.

Are the shirts loose or fitted?

At Paisano Prints, we use the Gildan 64000 for our t-shirts, which is known for its comfortable and relaxed fit. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Fit: The Gildan 64000 offers a soft and loose fit, making it ideal for casual wear. It has a more relaxed silhouette, giving you room to move without feeling restricted.

If you prefer a more fitted look, you might consider sizing down, but for most, it fits true to size with a nice, relaxed feel.

How are returns handled?
