    About Rituals Coffee House

     In November 1986 Mario Sabga-Aboud opened the first Burger Boys restaurant at 27 Frederick Street, Port-of-Spain. The success of this first restaurant was phenomenal and Mario asked himself 'what next?' The answer to that question was 'Pizza'. So two years later right next door to the first Burger Boys restaurant the first Pizza Boys restaurant opened for business in September 1988. Today, Pizza Boys is a powerful Group of Companies consisting of Wok 'n Roll, Imperial Gardens, Donut Boys, V.I.P Lounge, Vie de France, Captain D's, Church's Chicken and Rituals Coffee House.
