Luigi's, established in 1949, stands as Augusta, Georgia's oldest Italian restaurant, known for its original pizza pie creation. The restaurant's roots trace back to Nicholas “Papou Nick” Ballas, a Greek immigrant who introduced Italian cuisine to the community. Over the years, Luigi's has become a cherished dining spot, attracting businessmen, soldiers, families, and even famous faces during the Masters tournament.
Through the generations, the Ballas family has maintained Luigi's legacy, with Chuck Jr. and his wife Debi passing the reins to their children, Penelope, Bebe, and Claudia. The restaurant's walls adorned with golf memorabilia reflect the family's deep ties to the community, especially the golfing community. Luigi's continues to be a family affair, with different generations working together, ensuring the restaurant's tradition and spirit thrive.
