Big G's Pizza Taylor

It is hard to believe that Jeronimo Gaytan and Jaime Gamez have known each other since elementary school in Highland Park, a suburb just north of Chicago. However, their friendship grew stronger when they attended college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Both are first generation college graduates, having majored in Engineering and Education respectively. Their paths crossed again in Chicago during the summer of 2011. Over a beer they discussed and shared hopes of one day being self-employed and getting back into the food industry. Fast forward to May of 2012 and their first location is established just across the street from Wrigley Field and their second location on Taylor St. in the heart of UIC's campus.

Like most other pizza enthusiasts, pizza has been an integral part of their lives, especially in Jaime's case. He worked 8 years at THE pizza establishment in Madison, WI, and then gained experience in opening a restaurant from the ground up for the same company. In fact you might even say he also graduated from Pizza University too!
