NYPD Pizza Corporate Office

Paul Russo, a native New Yorker from Queens, didn’t think it would be so difficult to find a genuine slice of New York-style pizza when he moved to Orlando, Florida, in 1990.

After several years of frustration, Russo opened his first pizza restaurant, featuring genuine NY pizzas by the slice or by the pan in 1996.

Franchising started shortly after. Since opening, NYPD Pizza has won more than 30 “Best of” Awards across the nation.

For those who might think this was a rip-off of the New York Police Department name, Russo is quick to point out that the name is New York Pizzeria and Deli.

The company specializes in genuine New York-style pizzas as well as chicken wings, garlic knots, mozzarella sticks, and sandwiches, such as the Eggplant Parmigiana Hero.

There are currently 5 NYPD locations in the greater Orlando area.

NYPD Pizza maintains a corporate office in The Villages, Florida.

Hawaiian Brothers Island Grill Corporate Office

Brothers Cameron and Tyler McNie grew up in the restaurant industry working at their parent’s Hawaiian-inspired restaurant. The brothers wanted to try their own twist on this popular meal, so they founded Hawaiian Brothers Island Grill in 2018.

The McNies knew Hawaiian food was extremely popular, so they created the perfect lunch or dinner meal- two scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and a big helping of slow-roasted BBQ meat.

The restaurant chain also features salads, steamed veggies, pineapple, and roasted spam. Yes, that’s right, roasted spam.

Hawaiian Brothers is expanding rapidly, with plans for 10 new locations in Iowa in 2023 and Missouri to add to its 40 current locations in 7 states.

Hawaiian Brothers also opened its first Arizona location in March 2023.
