In 1963, two immigrants from Lebanon, Alfred Ajamie and Walter Abood, founded Fiesta Pizza and Chicken in Goodyear Heights. After meeting with a chef in Youngstown to learn the best way to make pizza, Ajamie and Abood created the shop on Newton Street following a new concept of selling pizza and chicken at the same location. They also introduced a brand-new food item to Akron, the JoJo.
