No.....more of the same....cardboard with tomato sauce and not enough of anything.

Geraci's would be great! I think a lot of Solonites came from the Heights area. But, I also know they wouldn't pay the premium for great pizza.

I say why not open a Papa Johns. If people around here don't like their pizzas, then they won't last. I for one was disappointed when Dino's closed. The restaurant business is tough. It's better to have something in that shopping center than empty stores.

Do you really think that the planning commission and council will work WITH an independent? It takes a chain (think Giant Eagle) to provide the expensive attorneys to get past the obstacles created by city officials. The general rules of council and planning are: any new business or alterations to existing business must be invisible, colors must be dull earthtones, signs should not be necessary. I remember when planning and council almost drove Steinmart out because the letters on Steinmart's sign were 2 inches bigger than the planners wanted. I'm interested to see what the city will do with the plans for the new eatery on Aurora. Council and planners wholeheartedly approved of the way the building looks now-and the owner had to jump through countless hoops. I hope common sense prevails, but judging from the past, it's unlikely.

..No comment on "Antonio's"..??

We wrote about Antonio's coming to Solon: http://solon.patch.com/articles/new-pizza-restaurant-opening-in-solon-village

The original Antonio's in Parma had excellent pizza and house salads. We went there a lot when we lived on the westside. I imagine the store in Solon Village will be one of their "Express" outlets. Mom and Pop did it better, but its still a decent pizza.
