The other day Marco and I agreed to meet at the Watertown Mall to have lunch at the CLASSIC Papa Gino's next to Target. HOWEVER, the Papa Gino's is closed! Target is expanding and taking over the mall....the future of this Papa Gino's is unclear. If/When it reopens it will not be the same looking pizzeria--Papa Gino's is remodeling and changing (updating) the looks of their restaurants.
In light of this, I thought a look at the CLASSIC style of Papa Gino's would be a nice cap to the week...
Did anyone else celebrate a birthday at Papa Gino's?
I did. Remember the jukeboxes they had?
Look at the hat I got to wear!

I don't think I've ever looked happier--surrounded by red and white checkered tables,
about to make
MY VERY OWN PAPA GINO'S PIZZA!
Here I am kneading the dough.This very Italian (Brazilian) man is helping me decide what to put on my pizza.
I probably only made a cheese pizza since back then I didn't like most pizza toppings.
If I got to make a Papa Gino's pizza today I would top it with
pepperoni, green peppers, onions, and maybe a few mushrooms!
Making pizzas is hard work!AND LOOK AT THOSE HUGE PIZZAS!
Here I take a moment away from the dough to pose for a few photos. SNAPSHOT!
Look at the outfit that pizza lady has on! Talk about FASHION FRIDAY!
I love the CLASSIC Coke clock on the wall too!
Although the Watertown Mall's Papa Gino's was deserted,through the magic of PhotoShop we can still imagine the good old days.....

Adam,
This is the mothership...PG Corporate. What a great blog to run across! We'd love to have you come to the new restaurant for that Pepperoni, Mushroom, Pepper and Onion pizza when we re-open. Should be later this summer. Can you spin the dough too? :)
