Our beginnings are simple, two friends with a dream and an idea to build a brand!.....Well, it's not quite that simple really. For the past 15 years, both Kendall and Olman have worked together helping other restaurant brands grow. They have a passion for people and success, so it only seemed natural that the business they talked about, so many years ago, would eventually happen. They spent many hours contemplating different locations and products but then....Covid hit! The building they were signing on was put to a stop as the world figured out how to navigate through the pandemic! Fast forward to March 2021, a site became available. It was time! No more "corporate" world! It was time to go on their own! With the principle of impacting lives by serving quality food with exceptional service at an affordable price while also taking care of staff! They will not bend on quality nor the high expectation of treating each GUEST as family! Come see for yourself!
Kendall Wilson
- Kendall has worked in the restaurant industry for the past 20 years working in all positions from dish team member, server, host, bartender, and manager. In 2008, he was promoted as the youngest General Manager of a high volume concept that grossed over $6M in revenue. In 2013, he was promoted as the Director of Operations of 11 casual dining restaurants in the state of Georgia. There he helped facilitate proper systems and processes for company growth, opening up 4 units from the ground up. In fall of 2017, the company was sold. Knowing that after 18 years it was time to move on, Kendall joined a small business that was early in it's growth stage. As the COO, the company turned the "mom and pop" into a recognizable brand with easy to follow systems, procedures, and processes. In 2020, Covid pushed Kendall into another direction, real estate. However, he knew that restaurants were in his bloodline and he missed the people impact. In late 2020, the idea Holy Pie Pizzeria was born!
"Impacting lives one slice at a time!"
Olman Del Cid
- Born in Honduras, Olman migrated to the U.S. as a young man with his family. Here he found the "American Dream". He began work in the restaurant industry as a cook, learning all the in's and out's of producing food made from scratch at a quick pace. He quickly moved up in the food industry becoming a Senior Culinary Manager due to his hard work, honesty, creativity, and willingness to make a difference. He took a break from the industry for a short period, but was drawn back in by his love for food creation and people. He is responsible for the creation of many items in a few restaurant concepts and looks forward to having guests say "Holy Pie! that's good pizza!"
