The Armenian pizza became one of the most talked about moments at the 2014 Academy Awards, commonly known as The Oscars.
Prior to the award ceremony, event host Ellen DeGeneres had ordered pizzas from Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria, and, together with pizza delivery boy EdgarMartirosyan, she began offering pizzas to the Hollywood stars in the hall.
Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria is a Los Angeles-based, Armenian-American chain who is now garnering fans. Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria, which was founded by Aro Aghakhanyan in 1991 and his brother who came to Los Angeles from Armenia when he was only 12-years-old, has grown considerably to 20 locations across Southern California.
“I didn’t have a car actually. I rode a bicycle. Eventually, we had a really old oven and the maximum size pizza which I could put in was an 8” pizza. Then 2 years later I bought a Jeep Wrangler. Then I sold it to buy a new hood and oven. Then I went to having no car again. Once I changed the oven and the hood, then I put in a bigger, wider pizza oven. The size of the pizza oven was so wide I could fit 2 28” pizzas right next to each other,” Aghakhanyan had said in a recent interview.
