When you're told to deliver pizza to the Oscars, it could lead to much more than a good tip.
Edgar Martirosyan, the delivery guy who handed out pizza pies to stars like Meryl Streep and Brad Pitt during this year's Academy Awards, is opening a pizzeria in Hollywood with his brother Erik.

Ellen DeGeneres, who hosted this year's Oscars, later invited Martirosyan onto her talk show to chat with him about the delivery of a lifetime (oh, and she handed him a $1,000 tip).
Martirosyan told Mashable it was this publicity that made the restaurant possible, adding that it feels great to finally have his own eatery. Wood, which will open on Sunset Boulevard next month, will serve Neapolitan-style pizza and salads. Many of the ingredients will come straight from Italy while others will be locally grown.
The brothers have owned another pizzeria -- the Hollywood location of Big Mama's & Papa's Pizzeria, the chain responsible for the the pies on Oscars night -- for eight years, according to the Los Angeles Times.
