In the Beginning
In the late 90’s he transformed how pizza was displayed, customized on demand, and served with rapid efficiency. Within days of opening Christians on the Downtown Mall, lines formed out the door as eager customers waited their turn at bat. Christians handled this popularity as well as Bodos!
