EZ Paella Founders
Our Story of Resilience and Growth
We founded EZ Paella with a vision to create something unique. In March 2020, we were ready to open our first location in New York, but on the same day, the city shut down due to the pandemic. Instead of giving up, we donated our supplies to first responders and reinvented ourselves. Months later, we reopened in Columbus Circle, and in less than a year, we expanded to Hell’s Kitchen. Our low-cost, simple model proved its strength, thriving even in the toughest times. In 2023, we expanded internationally, opening one EZ Paella Express and one EZ Paella & Tapas in Venezuela with Ezpana Restaurante, solidifying our global vision. Today, EZ Paella is more than a restaurant, it’s an opportunity for entrepreneurs to join a proven, thriving business.
We’re here to help you succeed every step of the way!
Our Timeline

Grand opening & Closing
Opening day for our first EZ Paella Express, a grab-n-go location in NYC. Just as we were set to welcome our first customers, the city shuts down due to the pandemic. Rather than giving up, we chose to donate all our supplies to frontline workers, turning a setback into a moment of support and resilience.
