My Dad would go to Franks Big and
Tall and our office was once
on the 1800 block of South
Broad Street not far away:)

Mack: I remember eating dinner many a times at Azzara's Pizza, next to the liquor store owned by a husband and wife, can't remember the liquor store's name. I bet that area has really changed.

So many places to post, does anyone remember the tomato pie place on Lalor near Jr.4, called Lesko's. I remember ordering a pie from there one Friday night at my Grandmother, the thing came about 1 hour later.

I remember Lesko's...didn't go there much...pies never matched up to 'Burg standards...Nate's where better in that area.

Back to good pizza and tomato pie, here in SC people think Pizza Hut and Dominos has good pie. I can't even begin to think about eating one of their pies. Make my own or go to the only place I'll eat pizza here and it's in NC.

I can tell you that here in the midweat they lack a concept of pizza entirely. Sorry, it's tomato pie. But seriously, it's a joke. Papa's, Delorenzo's. That's the ticket. A proper pie.
