re: Rumor of new pizza joint

I remember the first time I walked into Johnny D's NY Pizza place on Jones Creek. It was about 2pm on a Monday and I quickly surmised that they were in the process of closing right after lunch, so I said, "Oh, you guys are closed. I'll come back later." But Johnny D insisted on serving me. He kept saying, "What do you want? We'll make it for you. What do you want?" And he ended up talking me into it. I hated that his staff had to do that after they were already cleaning up, but the guy wouldn't take "no" for an answer. He insisted.

I also used to go into his later place on Coursey where he tried making a go of it. I thought it was pretty decent, myself, but it didn't seem to last long. I'm glad to read that he may be making a comeback. The guy is a likeable character. I will definitely go check his new place out.
