Round Table Pizza was founded by Bill Larson in 1959 as a fun, casual pizza restaurant for friends and family. The original concept of Round Table was simply symbolized as a gathering place and had nothing to do with King Arthur or the Knights of the Round Table. However, one day a friend of Bill Larson started sketching the knights of King Arthur's court eating pizza, and thus the logo was born. Although the Albany Round Table doesn't have the appearance of a castle, nor are there many round tables inside, it does have a menu full of fresh ingredients.
