THE FOUNDER HISTORY
Chef Papa Rez immigrated to Canada in 1988. Upon arriving in Canada, Reza began a job at a local pizza franchise. This is where his love for pizza making began. He quickly learned the basic skills of pizza making, and in a few short months, became the fastest maker at the store!
