Mazzio's Pizza in Temple (Temple, Texas)

This is the same scan (c. 1991) that appears on sister site Brazos Buildings & Businesses.

Another spin-off of the SW H.K. Dodgen Loop page, Mazzio's Pizza opened in Temple in 1984 with its address originally being 1906 Glendale Drive but became 1420 S.W. H.K. Dodgen Loop as that became a frontage road for the highway later. Unlike the College Station location which closed by late 1997, the Mazzio's Pizza remained and kept its older logo for years (I seem to remember it hanging onto it even into the late 2000s, though it had switched to the current logo by 2008). Sometime around late 2013 it was shuttered and replaced by "Henderson's" restaurant in 2015, which by November 2018 became another restaurant, Bay Street Steak & Grille; however by summer 2019 it was already gone. The new Denny's opened in fall 2020 and is the first in Temple since the one off I-35 (the old Kettle) closed. (See Carbon-izer's I-35 in Bell County page).
