Pizza Inn at 1801 Mangum Road (Houston, Texas)

Street View from the early 2010s. By late 2014 they added updated logos to the signs. Note that they're Burger King sign-shaped.
Over on the now-closed The Houston Files we had covered 1815 Mangum Road, now it's time to cover its more successful neighbor at 1801 Mangum.

Pizza Inn's most prominent feature is a very tall sign that was meant to be visible to Hempstead Road travelers in the mid-1970s when it was built as a Burger King back in 1974. (The sign is still there, but it's not quite as visible from Northwest Freeway). In 2004, the Burger King closed and was replaced with a Pizza Inn in 2005, now the only stand-alone Pizza Inn restaurant in the Houston area (and one of four Pizza Inn restaurants total).

This is an expanded version of what was previously posted on Carbon-izer.
