I used to live around the corner from their original store (founded 1947, IIRC) that was in a row home in downtown Trenton, NJ. This place must have pre-dated the restroom laws as there weren't any, but people, literally, lined up around the block to get in. The grandson of the founder has expanded to the two locations mentioned (Trenton location is no more - probably a good thing) - and these do have rest rooms - LOL. Very nice restaurants. Fortunately, the pizza,,,errrr, tomato pies have remained the same quality.
Adios,

My mother was from Ewing Township (Trenton) NJ and it was tomato pie. An ice cream vendor on a bicycle with a cooler strapped on the handle bars would cruise through the neighborhood. He sold beer to us kids with a deposit on a church key, which of course we returned to get out deposit back.
I don't remember the name of the tomato pie place we went to but I do remember it was good.
