Mauldin
Jazz Farhan has officially announced his departure from House of Pizza, the family-owned restaurant that has served the Laurens community since 1984. Farhan plans to open a new pizzeria called Local Crust in Mauldin, expected to launch by the end of October.
Farhan has been a key figure at House of Pizza for the past 13 years, where he worked alongside his cousin in a business that has been a staple in their family for decades. The restaurant is not just a business; it represents an immigrant’s American dream built on love, sacrifice, and hard work. The establishment, which remains co-owned by Farhan and his cousin G, is a true family operation that involves multiple siblings and cousins.
While announcing his departure, Farhan expressed feelings of sadness but confidence in the restaurant’s future, stating that it is in capable hands with his cousin G taking over management duties. He reassured the community that House of Pizza will continue to uphold its values of love, tradition, and community.
New Venture in Mauldin
Farhan’s upcoming venture, Local Crust, will adopt an express dining concept focusing primarily on carry-out services, with no option for dine-in meals. Local Crust aims to fill what Farhan identified as a need for a locally owned pizzeria in the Mauldin area.
The menu for Local Crust will feature a variety of items including pizza, sub sandwiches, pastas, salads, calzones, and chicken wings. This diverse selection seeks to cater to community tastes while ensuring quick service for those on the go.
Community Engagement
Jazz Farhan has conveyed his enthusiasm for the new establishment, hoping that the Mauldin community will fully embrace Local Crust. In an effort to keep potential customers informed on the new business, a Facebook page for Local Crust will be created. This platform will provide updates on progress, menu items, and the anticipated grand opening date.
Background of House of Pizza
House of Pizza was founded in 1984 by Jazz Farhan’s family and has since become a beloved local eatery in Laurens. The restaurant’s journey is characterized by the deep-rooted commitment of the Farhan family. Over the years, it has served not only food but also a sense of community and tradition, reflecting the values cherished by the family.
As Jazz Farhan embarks on this new chapter with Local Crust, he carries with him rich experiences from his time at House of Pizza. The impending changes in the restaurant landscape of Mauldin signal both a farewell to a longstanding family business and the exciting introduction of Local Crust, which aims to continue the legacy of quality service and community focus.
