Papa's Tomato Pie



Papa's Tomato Pie
A new picture of a Papas Tomato Pie taken a few weeks ago
to show that in this year of our lord 2011 you can still
get great Burg food. Chambers Street and Roebling Avenue
are still filled with the wonderful aroma of Papas
delicious foods:)

HI MAC...I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER PAPA'S DURING THE TIME THEY WERE ON BUTLER STREET IN THE 1930'S AND 40'S. THERE WERE NOT MANY TOMATO PIE BAKERIES AROUND IN THOSE DAYS AND FOR 25 CENTS YOU'D GET A LARGE PIE. THE ONLY OTHER TOPPING WAS ANCHOVIES. DURING THE FEAST OF LIGHTS THEY ALSO FEATURED MUSSELS. MY GIRL FRIEND OFTEN REMINDED ME OF TREATING ME TO A PIE ON HER PAY DAY. GOD BLESS THOSE DAYS. BEST REGARDS.

Hi Ralph:)
I remember pies $2 and Rossiburgers 99 cents in the 1970s.
Todays pies are typically $12-15..the prices of earlier eras are always a fun subject:))
