Ah Bimbo's! This was the best place to get pizza when I was a kid, back in the 1960s. They had "Pong" next to the tables, back when computer games first hit the scene. They had a picture of Harold Lloyd hanging off a clock from his movie "Safety Last." I remember that picture very well, and now watch the Harold Lloyd movie with my kids (on dvd). The restaurant often had a dixieland jazz band and I dreamed of playing the trombone after watching the band. The general style of the restaurant was reminiscent of the 1930s. The food was good (at least to a 7 year old). The pizza was square and cut into smaller squares. Baskets of peanuts were on every table, and the shells were good projectiles for firing at your siblings. (Such a mess on the floor!) They also had jugs of soda, as I recall, and they had Faygo on the menu. My family had a great time at Bimbo's! | Ah Bimbo's! This was the best place to get pizza when I was a kid, back in the 1960s.
