you're right I forgot about that place but had many subs there, didn't they used to advertise making 3 and 6 ft subs?

Garcias Pizza?
Although I always liked Alfonso Stuffed Breadsticks down in the Levee.
Could’ve sworn I saw Father Phil talking to Led Zeppelin in the Stabilizer.
People who think every restaurant owner wants his kids to stay in the industry clearly did not grow up in the industry.
79-80 there was a sandwich shop that delivered to the dorms. They had great sandwiches, including a 5 or 6' long sub (not subway) that we'd get sometimes. They used a really good oil/vinegar/herbs dressing on them. Dang if I can remember their name. Not a big known chain now. Anyone?? Bueller????
Pizza keg good. Pizza king on the bypass was good and a local favorite. Arnies had a great following. I liked Griners. Garcia’s was good. I went to Pizza Hut a lot to collect their looney tune glasses. I still have about 8 of them almost 50 years later. Noble Romans had a great reputation . It’s hard to believe there were so many local pizza places that little Caesar’s and dominoes were not even thought of when you wanted a pizza. And instead of having pizza delivered, you went to the restaurant just to get away.
Pete was paying his employees in cash. IRS or IDR caught on. He closed Alfano’s and Pepper Pete’s overnight and left the country. I heard he went to Italy.
It was Noble Romans. They had great pizza, but it was a little more expensive than the Keg and other pizza places.
In moving almost every 3 years to different parts of our country, I have found very few places in our country are able to adequately make that deep dish Chicago style pizza I grew to love while at Purdue.
Oh man. That’s believable. I think we heard the skipped rent story from the guy at the record store that was down there by Alfano’s (J&L Records maybe?) I liked Pepper Pete’s too. They had a great combo deal with a small pizza, cheese sticks or wings and a drink.
Was AJ Wingers related to the current AJ’s on Vine?
For discussion purposes only, my wife did her doctorate at IU. I will say nothing about their school. But I liked Mother Bears pizza and Paulieyes(sp) on the square. Paulieyes has since moved and closed. My favorite pizza is still two local places in Chicago. One was Genos by water tower plaza. And one was near McCormick place .
non payment of taxes is #1 reason for small bus closings.
Greiners is the oldest sub shop in Indy and still there. The one in Lafayette closed. They had great sandwiches. I'm going to have to find them in Indy now.
JR Records? Was down in the Levee and I think is still there. Bought Springsteen bootlegs there back in the day.

2126 Shelby St, Indianapolis, IN 46203 - reminds me of a place I visited frequently in Murray, Kentucky - ages ago.
I may not know much about basketball and I can’t remember much about calculus. But when it comes to pizza, there is nothing that can compare to the pizza I had during my college days!
Wish I remembered more of these places. I remember liking Noble Roman's. And there was a Greek diner that we liked (Apollo maybe?) Other than that just vague memory of names.
Apollo or Athena maybe.....it was pretty good....on the hill somewhere or up from the Levee, IIRC.
He seemed like a nice guy, if not a great businessman.
This JC article talks about some of these Purdue institutions:
Bangert: Tears for Jake’s, RIP memories for more long-lost places near Purdue
Jake's Roadhouse is history after 21 years a few blocks from Purdue. What other places no longer with us near Purdue do you miss most?

The Parthenon in Chauncey ? Good gyros.
Parthenon still exists. Moved out north on 52. Not quite the same atmosphere but still good food.
I liked Veno's pizza on the west end of campus. Close to my dorm and a lot of football players frequented it.
Was that in Purdue West?
Is there a plan to do something with that by the way ? Pretty sad looking nowadays.
yes - good gyros......or "JIE-Rohs" haha....
Venos was near the Follett's across from McCutcheon Hall.....we had a buddy in Harrison Hall who did their special at least three times a week.
I forgot about Quincey’s. Man, they made good brats. Sure killed a lot of brain cells drinking green beer there. Good, good times.
Yes, Purdue West. There was a movie theater there that had a constant running of Rocky Horror. Pretty sad now.

Yes, I was just about to post the same. I liked their food. Drink specials were pretty decent from what I remember.
Pizza Keg’s lunch special, a clone of Noble Roman’s Sicilian Deep Dish, kept folks alive, backed by Happy Hour pitchers of liquid gold, helping digest back-to-back lectures. Right, Wheels?
OXO at Pete’s Pinball Palace would be followed by a late-night hot ham ’n cheese carryout from that decommissioned shack, the Time Out, just the warmup for an all-night term paper.
Once upon a time on State Street, students could enjoy 24-hour dining service at the Triple XXX, especially after rolling downhill from Harry’s.
Everyone watching a fully loaded bootleg buddy, waving his lighter to fire up a concert crowd after climbing atop the roof of Slayter Center, made even the lead guitarist try to see what’s up.
A hungry growing gang would wait in Noble Roman’s dining area for a delivery buddy to accidentally drop another boxed pizza. Oops. Free. Except the 27 drinks.
The Stabilizer reserved tables and supplied free ice-cold pitchers for the one and only bar-sponsored intramural team on campus. The real national pastime.
Two coed carloads from Townhouse saved for weeks just to do one seafood night at Morris Bryant, usually the grand goal for parental visits, if not Sarge Biltz.
Ages before the rise of any 16-story apartments, Ten West provided exclusive night views from plush lounges, overlooking the city lights over cocktails.
Nickel / Quarter Beer Night at the Knickerbocker led many a good Boilermaker, from father to son, to later question the vision of a train in the middle of the street.
Triple-Bubble Hour at HoJo’s -- Howard Johnson’s by the interstate -- led to front tables to watch Gemini -- Silver Twins Candi and Randi, future co-stars of “B.J. and The Bear.”
Ah ... the wonders of higher education.

Green bottle night at Mr. Bill’s on South River Road…
Refusing to let Kool Ray leave the stage at 2am at the Stabilizer…
Meister Brau for seven bucks a case…
Hoping to catch lightning in a bottle with the target-rich female environment on Thursday Nights at Nick’s…
How the hell did I graduate in four years???

An Arni's chopped salad is still my favorite salad of all time. I havent lived in WL in over 20 years. Phoenix/Scottsdale area obviously has allot of great food, but I love that salad at Arni's,.
some good news for the Bruno’s lovers out there….
