Mazzio's Pizza. There are still a few around Texas from what I've seen, but most have closed. The one in Cleburne was pure greatness when I was a kid, but it's been closed about 30 years...it's a Cotton Patch now.  I enjoyed my time owning that Cotton Patch lol. Mazzios started with Kens pizza in Tulsa. After Ken shelby divorced his wife she got mazzioes. You can still get a kens at one.

There's a place in Harker Heights.
Black gentleman that's long past.
I don't know if it's still there but it was something else. $5 of a styrofoam plate.
He put heart into it. This brisket was.....
It had heart. Excellent brisket. Sliced. Perfect sauce.

Hmmm...I'm making a drive to St Louis next month and I have a choice of two routes....one of those is through Tulsa. Maybe I should go that way after all?

Hideaway pizza is better. Lots of food choices in Tulsa.

That’s when Luby bought them. Company was struggling and Lubys took away all the exotics. Still was a good fresh burger with endless toppings.

Baby Doe’s in Dallas
The restaurant sat up on the hill overlooking the interstate next to the coors waterfall sign-
Loved their beer cheese soup-

HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!
