About Green Mill Restaurant & Bar

A legend has to start somewhere, right? Ours began in St. Paul in 1935. For forty years, Green Mill was a neighborhood staple & is still the oldest licensed pub in St. Paul. In 1975, on a trip to Chicago the Green Mill owners fell in love with the deep dish pizza and added their version of it to the Green Mill menu. What happened next was pizza history. Word spread. Lines formed. Awards were won. A legend was born.

About Pizza Schmizza

You see, way back in our earliest days, when founder and pizza retailing giant André Jehan (whose modesty compelled him to name his corporation André Grandé), first got serious about Schmizza, he dreamt up and trademarked the “one planet, one people, one pizza®” slogan. Because even then, he said, “world domination was the goal”. And now you can participate. Instead of simply standing by as an observer, or happily engaging André and the other Schmizza franchise owners as a Pizza Schmizza consumer, you can invest and own your very own Pizza Schmizza, anywhere! Opportunities are available literally virtually planet-wide. Sadly, there are a few places where you can’t open your own Schmizza, but they are few and far between. And there are no restrictions on developing other planets and moons, if you’re ready to move on from Planet Earth.
