This great neighborhood flower shop is our favorite. You can walk in and talk to a very nice and competent sale person and have them prepare a nice arrangement for you. Whether it's for you or a love one, they will take time to do it very nice and you will be surprise how cheap it is to offer a great bouquet. We usually tell them how much we have, and they pick something great for you and deliver it whenever you want.

Thick crust with lots of toppings, that's what Pizza 1969 is all about. We really like it, but some people don't. They have a huge menu that also includes pastas and salads. The delivery can take up to an hour, so order before you get too hungry.

Address: All over! Check the website.
