The Oscars Pizza Delivery Guy Got a $1,000 Tip

Ellen Degeneres had the guy who delivered the pizzas at the Oscars on her show so she could finally give him the tip that she collected inside Pharrell Williams’ dorky hat. The guy, who co-owns Big Mama’s & Papa’s with his brother, ended up with a $1,000 tip and probably a lot of publicity for his pizza place. $600 of the tip was from the hat and another $400 was from Ellen’s pocket.

Edgar Martirosyan, the delivery guy, said he thought he was going to be delivering it to a bunch of writers and was shocked when they brought him into the Oscars.

The guy said he’s a big fan of Julia Roberts so it’s a good thing he didn’t try to shake her hand or anything because she seems like the person that would scream, “Don’t touch me!,” and then kick him in the nuts.
