In 1960, Perry (yes, he really does exist) arrived in Canada from the Island of Santorini, Greece on a quest for his fame and fortune. He and his brothers opened a pizza restaurant, built it into a successful chain and ran it together until it was sold in 1978. Perry stayed active in the restaurant business for 10 more years. At that time, he decided to open another chain of restaurants that would emphasize creating quality foods from fresh ingredients and offering them for takeout and delivery at family-friendly prices. Thus Perry's 2 For 1 Pizza & Pasta was born.
