Sicily Pizza and Pasta, an Italian style restaurant, first opened in 1990 . The restaurant's founder, Ben Broojeni, had played with the idea of opening his own restaurant while living in and touring Europe in his young adult years. His love for food and Italian kitchens led him to study for several years under great Italian chefs, perfecting the art of making pizza and pasta dishes. When he moved to the states it was no surprise that he opened his first restaurant. Today Sicily Pizza and Pasta (Sipipa) has locations from Stafford to Spring and is wildly popular for its authentic and fresh foods.
