I went to the one on Linden Ave. I seem to remember a sign in the store with the name Bee Donisi. I think she was related to the Cassano family somehow.

I think it was owned by a branch of the Cassano family. It later became Vic and Mom's which was Vic Cassano and his mother-in-law whose name was Bee Donisi. This would have been in the 70s.

Sam's Pizza was owned by Sam Donisi. He had a store on Salem Ave. and one on I believe Linden Ave and one in Trotwood. Sam was the son om Mom Donisi of Cassano's.(It used to be called Vic and Mom's.) The pizza Sam made was almost identical to Cassano's Deluxe. But Sam's was better. We lived at the corner of Philadelphia and Salem and my Italian family were friends with Sam Donisi's family. Corvette6- Sam had a son named Greg who may have been who you were thinking of. I would say Greg is 64 now.

Does Pizzia King fit into all this? I always though that it was part of the Cassano's. The place I'm talking about was at Dorthy Lane and Countyline rd.
Same shopping center as the State store is in now.
Sorry about being off topic

BB64-- Pizza King was at one time what Cassano's called itself. Perhaps it was a knick name or something. The bags they came in had a picture of Vic with that "funky" crown kind of smeared over his head. What a riot!
Corvetts6-- I should have graduated from Fairview in 1967 but we moved to Salem Mall area and I graduated from Trotwood-Madison.

I thought Mom Donisi was killed in a car wreck in the mid/late 60s?

There was a Sam's pizza also at the shopping center in Trotwood around the corner from the Elder Beerman store and Trotwood Food Town, if I recall correctly and I can remember eating there many times as well as the one on Salem Avenue. I also remember that the Pizza was outstanding and that my mom and dad always got us a pretzel rod out of the container at the register every time we ate there. Great memories. I will never understand why Sam's closed. It is sad that todays generation has been slighted by not geting to eat such Great Pizza.

Do you Trotwood guys remember Jolly's Pizza, which was on Broadway (just as you entered town on Union Road - there's a park there now). We used to love eating there when I was a kid.

KennyE11, Yes I remember Jolly's Pizza. I used go there after swimming at the pool across the street. This was in the early to mid 70s. I loved their pizza.
