commentary by Ed Vincent
Massimo Letizia has been going to Freddy's Pizza since
he was five years old. Mr. Letizia remembers his youth in
Cicero and how Freddy's was like a Little Italy for him and
his family, he couldn't say enough about how he liked the
restaurant/deli. Of the three featured businesses for food in
the greater Metro area Freddy's was the clear winner.
Everyone had something nice to say and it was the best
value for the dollar. The three reviewers below each
brought their own restuarant to suggest, but only
Freddy's had the feel of another time in history, a
taste of another country, and the best value for your
money. Freddy's had a figure of $10.00 a person and
the others were $35.00 and $40.00 per person and those
you needed to tip too.

to take home and prepare yourself, and the ever famous

Thank you Mr. Massimo Letizia for letting more of
