There was a "Roaring 20’s Pizza" in Grand Rapids, Michigan from the late 70’s until the early 90’s. Charlie Balogh was one of the featured players. He later bought the restaraunt and changed the name to "Good Time Charley’s". Unfortunately it closed in 1991 but I remember waiting in line just to get in to the place!

There also was and may still be a place called the "Organ Grinder" in Toronto that was similar to Roaring 20’s although not quite as big from what I recall. Both restaraunts had excellent pizza and the mightly wurlitzer was awesome! I would love to visit this type of pizza parlour again. Does anyone know if there are any restaraunts like this today in the Chicago/Grand Rapids/Detroit areas?

I think I was there a couple of times, but that was about 25 years ago, it was on or near 28th Street, right?
