For the record: When the Aida Pizzeria, our first neighborhood pizzeria, opened in 1955, a slice cost 15 cents. At the pizza joints on or near the boardwalks in Coney Island and Rockaway Beach, the price was 10 cents in the winter, 15 cents in the summer.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
