I thought I had heard of most of the pizza places in Lorain over the years, but here's one that is new to me:
Tina's Pizza Parlor. Above is the large Grand Opening ad that ran in the
Journal on April 3, 1964.
Two well-known Lorain surnames – Fazekas and Ritenauer – were the proprietors of the place.
In the weeks after the Grand Opening, this ad (below) ran many times in the Journal. But soon all newspaper advertising ended.

It doesn't seem to have been in business very long, as I could not find any ad or mention of Tina's Pizza after 1967. This item (below) seems to be the final appearance of the pizza parlor's name in the
Journal.

Today, 3010 Pearl is a vacant lot.
Do you have any memories of Tina's Pizza? If so, be sure to leave a comment!
Doesn't ring a bell.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall Tina's Pizza, but I do remember when pizza places were open till 1am. I assume they used to stay open that late to cater to the workers from USS, Ford, and the shipyard which would typically end their night shifts at 11pm. I can't imagine any typical folks would just decide to order a pizza after midnight, unless of course, marijuana was involved.
ReplyDeleteLots of us were more drunk driving than smoking weed back then. Several beers in and a pizza starts sounding pretty darn good!
DeletePicolo's Pizza used to stay open until four in the morning.
