Lake Tahoe Pizza Co. is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, according to a Tahoe Daily Tribune report.
The pizza company is owned and operated by the Touryan family.
“The restaurant had a very humble beginning, where I started it in Redwood City back in 1973, and that’s where the pizzas and recipes came to life,” Levon Touryan, founder of Lake Tahoe Pizza Co. told the news outlet. “I moved to South Lake Tahoe in 1977, and continued the business here.”
The pizzeria had a “humble beginning,” with remodeling after they purchased their building lasting six months.
“We don’t depart from what works, which is our cold-proofing process, and we make every aspect of the pizza once it’s ordered, not pre-baking or using day-old ingredients,” Brennon Touryan, current owner and son of the founder of Lake Tahoe Pizza Co. told the news outlet. “We don’t cut corners whatsoever and stick to our formula that works, and business only seems to be getting better as we continue to grow.”
