In 1967, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Singas opened the first Singas Famous Pizza restaurant in Elmhurst, New York. During its first year of operations, Gregory Tsanis, our CEO and president went to work for Mr. and Mrs. Singas.
Greg was born in Greece, where he lived for 14 years before arriving in the U.S. with his family. In Greece, Greg learned that food is influenced by a variety of ingredients, which are combined by hand to create a distinctly unique meal.
Greg worked with Bill Singas for many years learning the art of making pizza and other menu items the way food was created. In 1977, Greg and his brother, Chris, purchased the business from Bill Singas. Together, they operated the original store in Elmhurst and branched out, opening new stores in the tristate area.
