Welcome to Thunderdome

Getting love for "drive thru" pizza plans.

There's a chain here that has done drive thru pizza for years.

"pizza"

That was a short at the chain you reference, if it's the one I'm thinking of. But, it could go both ways.

I was referencing Gino's, which is still in business and has 8 or so locations around town. So not a chain. Not all have the drive thru window. Google says there are a bunch of Gino's throughout the U.S., but they're different franchises, not the one here.

Were you thinking of Fazolli's or something? I ate there once. Once.

Little Caesers has some drive throughs.

I guess Pizza Hut gets credit because they're specifically designing restaurants to be like a typical fast food joint rather than a sit down place or in a strip mall?

Pizza Huts around here started shifting away from the sit-down restaurants at least a decade ago. They started delivering about the same time.

Feels like two decades ago.

Umm, I worked at a Pizza Hut that had a drive thru window like 20 years ago..

Its the same building that the Sidelines Italian is presently, the same drive thru window still exists. Is this supposed to be something new??

Toledo USED TO BE a test-bed for restaurants, and established places that wanted to try new things. I don't know why, and I don't know if it's still the case. But now that I'm thinking about it, new Domino's Pizza buildings have had drive-throughs for a long time.

For us "out past the east side" country kids, the Pizza Hut on Secor across from the movie theater used to be THE date-night place, as teenagers.

Come to think of it, there were always sketchy people hanging at that theater on the weekends. This explains it, the east side was invading.

I as careful to state "out past" the east side. We weren't toledoans. We were the country boys the east side sluts liked to bang because we all had (crappy used) cars at 16.

Not complaining.
