Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder has been there some 40 years, so it has
staying power.

It has nothing to do with any local pizza style, as the phrase "oven
grinder" suggest. Locally a grinder is a "sub." Grinders come from
Massachusetts or one of those states.

Never heard of the phrase "oven grinder". Looks like a hot muffuletta.

There's several definitions for "grinder" sandwiches:

"Grinder (Italian-American slang for a dock worker)-New England.[5] Called
grinder because it took a lot of chewing to eat the hard crust of the bread
used.
In Pennsylvania, the term grinder refers to a sandwich that has been heated.
In eastern Massachusetts a grinder is a toasted sub, for example the sub is
toasted in a pizza oven."

grinder sounds as appetizing as "bean curd"

I call hoagies, grinders, subs, torpedoes, etc... subs.

Subway or submarine doesn't really have good connotations of a clean, quiet,
pleasant place to eat. But the franchise is just about everywhere. Just
think if they all were real subway stations, what a great mass transit
system there would be. And at each stop, a sub shop!

In Erie, we had pop. Seems most places are soda or soda pop... Where I am
now, it's "coke" even if you order Pepsi.

In Denver, there was the "bag vs sack" controversy. Lot of west coast vs
east coast transplants there, or tourists... Clerk at checkout: "Would you
like a plastic or paper bag with that?" Customer: "I would like a paper
sack."

The one that gets me is "standing on line" (NYC), no online is a
computer term - you're standing *in* line (San Francisco). Back when
my kids were in college, they could separate SoCal raised from NorCal
raised without asking by their use of Hella (NorCal) and Hecka
(SoCal).
