Oscars Pizza Delivery Guy on ‘Ellen’: ‘I Was Just Shocked’ to Get On Stage

Ellen DeGeneres gave Edgar Martirosyan a $600 tip she collected from the star-studded audience that enjoyed the three large pies. She also gave him a little extra, a $400 tip out of her own pocket.

Edgar Martirosyan made international headlines on Sunday as the first pizza delivery man to make it to the Oscar stage – on the clock.

He tells Ellen that he he had no idea that he was about to do it, either.

“They told me I’m gonna just deliver for writers. And then when I was there, they just told me, ‘Wait here.’ And then you came out,” Martirosyan told Ellen DeGeneres on her daytime talk show (above) on Monday. “You said, ‘Just follow me.’ And we’re going, and I’m on a stage. I was just shocked.”

Martirosyan, is the co-owner of Big Mama’s and Papa’s pizza joint with his brother, had no clue what he was getting himself into. Either way since the Oscar night sales have been through the roof for the pizza place.

After announcing to the star-studded audience that she would be ordering pizza for everyone, DeGeneres continued on her promise and escorted Martirosyan to his celebrity crush, Julia Roberts.

“She was, like, my woman in dreams,” Martirosyan said of the Oscar nominee. ”I was always watching her movies bacon Moscow, so it was something crazy to me.”
