The Original House of Pizza was began in Long Beach in 1974. Hilde is German and after about a year, our clientele thought it would be a nice idea to change the spelling of House to the German spelling HAUS. Both words are pronounced the same so why not. When it came to making a logo, the Haus became a castle. Then one of my engineering buddies liked the circle idea ( not really circles) over the castle, we added some stars which later became four, one for each member of the family. Gizmo became a member of the family in 1996 and we added his star this year.
