After some research, I stumbled upon Pizza Pete and fell in love! Ever since I've been dedicated to resurrecting this beloved, quirky mascot, and returning to a more vintage, hometown atmosphere. Collected a few things on ebay (still searching), and painted him myself on my storefront window! <br />http://www.flickr.com/photo_settings.gne?...0581606&photos_url=/photos/64556898phuteppsbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394696450729871300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22372014.post-2945513194483689272011-06-21T00:27:48.914-05:002011-06-21T00:27:48.914-05:00[:::] That's great to hear the Pete's stil...[:::] That's great to hear the Pete's still part of the team!

If you were to peak over the counter at any of our pizza hut's, you would find a large button with a cartoon drawing of him in the top right corner of the store software.
