CHARLIE'S TRIO

Over the Years many customers have asked why we are called Charlie's Trio. Contrary to popular belief, we are not called Charlie's Trio because our original location borders Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Alhambra. Nor is it because we offer a full service restaurant, take-out service, or a sports bar for our clients. The truth is in 1971, our father Chuck Fata Jr., opened a tiny pizza place named BIG MAN PIZZA. He used the name that friends referred to him as when he attended Lincoln High School. During the early years of Big Man Pizza, our grandfather Charlie Fata Sr. spent time working in the kitchen and shared stories of his child hood in Calabria, Italy and his immigration to his new home in the United States.
