No, *you* accidentally snipped my post:

Right now, the only thing that's sure is that one of the longest
lasting pizzajoints in town has closed its doors after over 30 years
(originally Mazzio's was Ken's Pizza, back in the 1970s),

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazzio%27s

"...Mazzio's Corporation is the parent company of Mazzio's Italian
Eatery and the former parent company of Zio's Italian Kitchen. In
November 2007 Zio's Italian Kitchen was sold to a private company.
Mazzio's began as a pizza parlor and is located throughout Oklahoma,
Kansas, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi,
Georgia, and Illinois. It was first founded in 1961, when a young
school teacher named Ken Selby opened a restaurant named The Pizza
Parlor in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 1965, Selby opened a second location and
changed the name to Ken's Pizza. By 1975, there were more than 100
franchise locations in and around Oklahoma. Zio's Italian Kitchen is
located in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, New Mexico and Texas.
Mazzio's Corporation do not own the Ken's Pizza chain found in and
around the Tulsa, Oklahoma area."

and the last Health department score gave them an 81, which was bad
enough, since even a score as low as 95 means the place has
significant problems (a place can have bugs and unsanitary coolers, et
cetera, and still get a score in the 90s):

81 Mazzio's Pizza - 4263 Macon Road

Anyway, sad to see a landmark pass, but a sign of the times, I
suppose.
