Elizabeth's Pizza has been serving up New York/Italian Style food since 1978. Each location makes a real effort to maintain a Cheers/ensemble cast feel, like the 1928-1993 sit-com set in Boston. If you are an Elizabeth's regular, it feels like "everyone knows your name," the staff is family, and you are a recurring character. It is as if Sam, Rebecca, Diane, and Carla expect Cliff, Norm, Lilith and Frasier to come bolting through the door at any minute. The above photo features the Elizabeth's on North Battleground Avenue.
Each location has it's own character and flavor. At the Battleground/Horse Pen Creek location, it is common for customers to call in orders and go to another Elizabeth's to pick them up. Waiters on the phone verify, "You know we're the Elizabeth's on North Battleground, the one across from Laddies and Dukes?" The one beside Waffle House? The one next to the little white house with the gravel drive? Well, Laddies & Dukes, Waffle House, and the little white house are long gone. The only enduring neighbor is the Goodwill Store. Who will be their new neighbors? Who will claim the spot on the phone for take out orders?
For sure, we hope this Elizabeth's, as well as the ones in the other locations, will be around for a very long time. Happy Monday........ and......... golden, Tuscan cheers!
