Oggi's Sports Brewhouse Pizza

About the Business

History

Established in 1991.

The Oggi’s franchise was originated by two brothers, George and John Hadjis, who began serving up their own pizzeria experience in August of 1991. After more than 20 combined years working in the technology industry, George and John opened their first restaurant in Del Mar, California as a franchisee of an existing local pizza chain. In 1995 micro-brewed beer was exploding onto the scene and everyone agreed that a micro-brewery would be a perfect complement to the existing restaurant concept. The concept expansion was a natural fit; it blended perfectly with our main product (pizza), as well as the established sports theme in the restaurant. Adding a micro-brewery to the restaurant defined the concept indefinitely and broadened the business’ customer base even further. “Oggi” stands for “today” in Italian. It symbolizes freshness as well as “the here and the now”. It is congruent with high-quality pizza, pastas, salads, beer, and even sports. Oggi’s dough is made fresh daily
