Frankie Johnnie and Luigi Too!
939 W El Camino Real
Mountain View CA United States
Back in 1947, pizza was virtually unknown in this country. Today, it's a food group. Part of the credit for this culinary revolution must go to one Rocky DiAugustino, who opened what may have been the first pizzeria between L.A. and San Francisco. Rocky later sold out to Frank D'Ambrosio, who, along with brother John and their paesano Louie, hung out a shingle and began making pies. The restaurant changed hands a few more times, but John's sons, Frank and John Jr., eventually bought it back. The restaurant, called Frankie Johnnie and Luigi Too, now offers a full menu of Southern Italian food, but the reason to go there is still the pizza--and not just to eat it. Patrons can watch the cooks hand toss the crusts. "You gotta toss it," explains John D'Ambrosio. "If you roll it, you squeeze out the air and it won't rise." If you toss it, it will rise.
