The business is owned by a family with deep Mediterranean roots. As a result, the eatery is especially influenced by the region. For one, the name 'Bizza' is a clever joke as it is derived from the Mediterranean pronunciation of 'pizza.' Dedicated to delivering the best quality of food and ingredients, the culinary creations boast a distinctive cultural twist with the subtle use of za'atar seasoning, tahini sauce and other flavorful topping options. From the Falafel Bizza to the [Kifta Cheeseburger Sub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-hut-cheeseburger-pizza), the establishment truly embraces a number of culture-specific elements.
