    ARMENIAN-OWNED PIZZERIA DELIVERS PIES, LAUGHS AT OSCARS

    15:27 03.03.2014

    In one of the Oscar's most talked about moments, the sea of A-list
    celebrities sitting front row at the ceremony got a little more than
    the golden statue they were hoping, as host Ellen DeGeneres treated
    the likes of Martin Scorsese and Brad Pitt to some good old fashioned
    pizza, Ianyan Magazine reports.

    The pizzas, carried on stage by a delivery boy came from none other
    than Big Mama's & Papa's Pizzeria, an L.A.-based, Armenian-American
    chain who is now garnering fans left and right. As Ellen walked around,
    offering pizza to Leonardo Dicaprio (who politely declined) and a
    pregnant Kerry Washington (who accepted and noted another pregnant
    woman nearby needed some too), the Big Mama's representative kept
    his cool, delivering his pies like a pro.

    At one point, Brad Pitt stepped in to help with paper plate
    distribution.

    The chain, founded by Aro Agakhanyan who came to Los Angeles from
    Armenia when he was only 12-years-old has grown considerably to 20
    locations across Southern California.

    Since the age of 16, Agakhanyan worked at pizza chains as a cook while
    he was still going to school in Glendale, Calif. but the road to open
    his own pizza place was filled with years of challenges, he explained
    in an interview with celebrity and personality interviewer Gary James.
