About Breadeaux Pizza

When their favorite pizzeria closed in 1984, convenience store owners Jim and Jennifer Larkin knew they had two options--live without pizza or start their own pizzeria. The couple took the entrepreneurial route and opened the first Breadeaux Pisa location in 1985.

Fifteen years later, the company, which makes pizzas with a thick French crust, had more than 60 locations operating under the Breadeaux Pizza name. Each restaurant serves a variety of entr'and dessert pizzas (such as Taco or Apple Cinnamon), submarine sandwiches, hot wings, breadsticks, pastas, salads and cookies.

About Big Mama's & Papa's Pizzeria

"Big
In 1992, brothers Aro & Allen Agakhanyan opened their first pizzeria in Los Angeles. They toiled for several years to prove their pizza restaurant concept was unique and different from the national pizza brands. Not only did they recreate the traditional pizzeria with a “cool” Southern California feel, but they also expanded the size of their pizzas to fit the demands of their guests. Their initial pizza size was a 28” pizza that you could order with your choice of toppings. But it soon became apparent that in order to feed the really big appetites of their customers, the Big Papa (36” in diameter) was born. But Aro and Allen Agakhanyan were not satisfied even then, so they introduced the Giant Sicilian which was and is the largest deliverable pizza in the world.

The Giant Sicilian (54” X 54”) is in the Guinness World Record Book.
