History

Established in 2006.

M. Yahya "Medy" Sanadidi, PhD, a professor of computer science at UCLA, founded Bella Pita in 2006 in partnership with his son, Ezedin Sanadidi. Originally from Egypt, they were thrilled to find growing demand for Mediterranean cuisine everywhere they traveled. After years of perfecting some of the current Bella Pita menu items at home (2003 to 2006), Bella Pita opened its doors for customers at its first location at 960 Gayley Ave in March of 2007. A second location at 3013 S Figueroa Street, close to USC, started to provide the same menu in September 2013.
