It all started in 1971 when the Simeonidis Family opened a little takeout pizzeria in Thompson Manitoba while working at the Inco Nickel mines.

Simeonidi's dedication to great-tasting food and great value made the little pizzeria a success. Within a year, it was the busiest pizzeria in Thompson.

In 1974 they moved the family to Winnipeg and opened a location at Waterloo and Corydon. Many more Winnipeg locations quickly followed. In 1990 they went international by opening in Fargo N.D., U.S.A.

One reason for their success is that they’ve always ensured that all menu items added over the years have been of the same high quality as their already famous pizza. They achieved this by sticking to their family’s tradition of making fresh dough, bread, sauces, salad dressings, and traditional Greek foods, all from scratch. This did not go unnoticed and they were quickly becoming famous for more than just their pizzas.
