General Info:

From the Portland Press Herald July 18,2011"The Angelone family is credited with bringing the modern pizzeria to Maine. Jack Angelone opened his first restaurant on Veranda Street in Portland in 1947, where he entertained crowds by playing the piano. Angelone was joined in the venture by his brother Joe and his wife Patricia. Pizza was not then a staple in the American diet. A 1953 news clipping that hung on a wall at the South Portland shop included a pronunciation of the word, "peet-za." The food grew in popularity in the years after World War II, and in the late 1950s the Angelones moved their restaurant to Portland's Monument Square. Angelone family members have since opened several restaurants in Maine under various names. In the late 1960s, Jack Angelone bought three gas stations in South Portland, Westbrook and on Washington Avenue in Portland. The box-like design and good ventilation made them perfect for his pizza ovens.Two of Angelone Mains' sisters own and operate the two remaining Pizza by Angelone shops, on Main Street in Westbrook and on Washington Avenue in Portland"
