TV commercial for Godfather's Pizza from 1978
Godfather's Pizza had a presence throughout the Charlotte area throughout the '70's and until the mid-80's. I went to the one at Park Rd Shopping Center several times. It was eventually replaced with a Pizza Inn and then it went back to being a Godfather's (for a very short time) in the early '90's. The Park Rd location is currently a Fuel Pizza.
I remember Godfather's pizza from the early 80's.Outside of Pizza Hut, Godfather's was the best around. I always frequented the location off of Freedom Dr. I remember the pizzas being loaded with toppings and cheese, so much so that you could only eat about three slices before you were full. It was a nice alternative to Pizza Hut. Godfather's pizza was never as greasy as Pizza Hut's. It was loaded with flavor and was always a treat on the weekend. I miss the pizza and the commercials. Who can ever forget the famous line "Do It!"
ReplyDeleteI'm from Charlotte and I remember when there were about 10 Charlotte Godfather's locations. We would go to the Park Road location for birthday parties. The stores were owned by a husband and wife team. Unfortunately they got divorced and split up the stores. The wife renamed her stores "pantera's pizza" and within a year all of them closed. The "combo" is my all time favorite. You can still get GF pizza in NC, but you have to go to Lexington, Rockingham or Asheville.
