This centrally located pizzeria is entirely owned and operated by veterans of the war in the east. More than a great story, it actually has really good pizza. There's indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of military hardware (think bullets under glass-top tables), and nationalist-leaning posters on the walls. Some profits go toward supporting war-veteran causes.
