I remember thinking how cool this "pizza pie" was!

That place had sing-a-longs if I recall correctly with a screen and a bouncing ball. Mid to late 60s.

I think Lentini's opened around 1962, Nancy.
Robin, I've seen sources noting 1961 & 1962 so that's about it. I recall a story in the C-J long ago where a local promoter who worked on a very early Rolling Stones US tour when few people knew who they were. He took Mick out to dinner and asked what he liked and he said Italian. So he took Jagger to Lentini's. They played at Memorial Auditorium October 14, 1964.
Pizza Inn - I recall the one on Dixie HWY, spent many an afternoon sampling their buffet.
