Zeus Pizza<\/i> was the follow-on operation to Tony's Pizza<\/a> in Parkland Plaza<\/a>, using in fact a good bit of the same signage and interior setup.<\/p>\n

As you can see from these pictures, the restaurant was a long narrow space. I think it might have benefited from more window tables, but the one time I ate there, I found it pleasant enough. As I recall, I had the stuffed shells with garlic bread, and it was perfectly fine. At that time, the restaurant had a cloth sign for \"Zeus\" hung over the \"Tony's\" lettering, as you can see in commenter Andrew's photos at the Tony's<\/i> link above. I presume that if they had made it over the initial hump, they would have eventually gotten permanent letters over the marquee.<\/p>\n

I'm not exactly sure when they closed -- The April issue of Skirt<\/i> magazine is still in the inside rack, but that may be bi-monthly. I'm going to say it was probably at the end of May giving them about an 8 or 9 month run.<\/p>\n

(Hat tip to commenter badger)<\/p>\n

UPDATE 1 August 2012<\/b>: Zeus<\/i> is open again. See the comments for details, but here is the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 4 October 2012<\/b>: As mentioned in the comments, Zeus<\/i> is unfortunately closed again:<\/p>\n
