Ok, a quick update on the current Lubbock pizza situation…
One Guy From Italy is still awesome and in the same two locations.
It’s owned by a new family now.
But it’s a Lubbock staple, right?
Right.
I ate there so much in college that a New York jury wouldn’t believe it.
Two slices and a Coke for $5.
But that was back in the day before inflation was the cool thing to do.
Here’s the thing though.
The guy that ran One Guy’s Texas Tech location forever left One Guy and started his own pizza shop called “Dario’s.”
It’s amazing.
And Dario is the nicest guy ever.
I remember visiting with him when my oldest was still sleeping in a baby carrier, over a decade ago.
And if that were not enough, get this.
The original guys who started One Guy back in the day have come out of retirement and have opened a new store called “Pappa V Pizza.”
Who is winning this pizza battle?
Lubbock’s stomachs are winning.
And I am now fat.
Of course, people will say I missed other great Lubbock pizza spots – and I did.
But the legacy that started for me in college is what still does it for me today.
