Oggi's Sports Brewhouse Pizza is a restaurant franchise mainly serving pizza, pasta, salad, and beer. Brothers George and John Hadjis are the figures who pioneered the Oggi's Sports Brewhouse Pizza franchise.

George and John entered the dining industry by opening a restaurant in California, in August of 1991. The brothers were franchisees of an existing local pizza chain. George and John introduced innovations including home and office delivery, micro-brewed beer, and sports-focused restaurant design.

In 1995, the Hadjis family managed to help the master franchisor open an additional location in San Diego, thanks to the brothers' unique restaurant concept. At the end of 2001, after franchising and opening six more stores under the idea, the family commenced separation talks with the master franchisor, and the name "Oggi's Sports Brewhouse Pizza" was born.
