History
Founder Jack Azar grew up in an orphanage in Jerusalem & was adopted by an American family. By the age of 16 he was on his own & at age 18 he opened a deli. That spun into a catering business with 15 trucks. Jack has been in the food industry his entire life and he LOVES feeding people! Jack's in-laws are 2nd generation restaurateurs from Long Island & used to own a variety of pizza & sandwich shops. Recipes were handed down from generation-to-generation. In the early 70's they moved to VA & in 1997 the first Manhattan Pizza was opened in VA. Lines were out the door and that still holds true today.
