The Brothers

of UGrill

Director - Producer - Story by

Jacob W. Novak

The Brothers of UGrill is a documentary I made with three of my colleagues. In the center of Boston University lay the best pizza shop in the city and the four closest brothers. Laz, Alex, Chris, and Dimitri tell their life story and explain why they’re the only shop on the whole street that hasn’t changed in over 30 years. Through the good times and bad, we see the deep connection these brothers have that makes their pizza shop one of the longest lasting family owned pizza shops in the city.

The Brothers Of U-Grill. 2022

In this documentary get to know the brothers of Univeristy Grill in the heart of Boston University for over 30 years. Laz, Alex, Chris, and Dimitri have been working together to run the best pizza show in the city since they were kids. Hard times can always come though and the way they make it out on top shows the real power of family working together.

Telling the Brother’s story the right way was so important. Every story I tell is.
