OTTAWA - Ottawa's Bigger, Better Pizza has become the official pizza of TD Place and the Ottawa REDBLACKS, Ottawa Fury FC and Ottawa 67's.
The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group announced today that Gabriel Pizza will be available at concession stands throughout TD Place at all sporting events, concerts and events.
Founded in 1977 by Michael Hanna, Gabriel Pizza is a true Ottawa entrepreneurial success story. From humble beginning as a one-store operation on St. Joseph Boulevard in Orléans, the business has grown into a regional operation with dozens of locations throughout the city and in towns across the surrounding region in both Eastern Ontario and the Outaouais
"We're very happy that Gabriel Pizza has joined our team and that they're adding TD Place as the latest location for people to be able to eat their delicious pizza," said Jeff Hunt, President of OSEG Sports. "Gabriel is a great local business success story and we're delighted that they're becoming a partner with us to grow their business."
Research conducted by OSEG revealed not only that fans expect pizza to be available during an event experience, but also believe pizza to be an important element of a kid-friendly menu. Gabriel Pizza was specifically referenced as the favourite pizza of the OSEG sports fan base.
"We are extremely excited to be partnering with OSEG at TD Place as the official pizza of the REDBLACKS, 67's and Fury FC. To hear that Gabriel Pizza was chosen as a result of support from the community is even more rewarding." said George Hanna, President of Gabriel Pizza.
The first game at TD Place at Lansdowne takes place on Friday, July 18 when the Ottawa REDBLACKS kick off its inaugural campaign in the Canadian Football League against the Toronto Argonauts.
