DieHardBrownsFan Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 They opened their first restaurant about 1/4 mile from where I lived in Parma Heights at a little shopping center at Snow and Stumph road in 1960's. Good Pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS I don't think there are any Antonios in Trumbull or Mahoning county. I swear tho, Northeast Ohio must have more pizza shops per capita than the rest of the country. And so many are soooooooooo good! Another reason to be called The Best Location in the Nation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio's Flying Pizza http://www.antonios.com/ Pretty good stuff with locations all around Houston as far away as Galveston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS This was in the 1960s, Remember, the likes of i-75 and I-77 were not completed...or perhaps even started then. They had to drive through the hills and mountains of Georgia/Tennesse/Kentucky/Virginia/West Virg. on back highways like US 21. And those were some nasty roads through there in those days. I know that I-77 anyway was not complete through WVa. until about the late 80s. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith's French Onion dip, sold in certain gas stations? Virtually tasteless. My wife knows shopping and deals and makes the rounds of local stores like Marcs and Aldis which has their store brand for dip, pickles, etc. HEAVENLY FARMS (from memory) quite good and a decent price.
