Me-n-Ed's Pizza Parlor

British theme continues with the font on the front of the restaurant , a thatched wood awning and a Tudor meets 1960s front door with stained glass . 1960s globe lamps also hang in a line out front.

Me-n-Ed’s Pizza opened for business on Paramount Blvd in Lakewood, CA in 1963. It is part of a chain of franchise restaurants started by Russ Johnson and Ed Sandlin in Sacramento in 1958.

Interior has long communal wooden tables , wood paneled walls, more thatched wood awnings spanning perimeter of room. Ordering done counter-style from a brick wall section where the pizzas are baked.

Another section called “Ye Olde Filling Station” allows one to order alcohol from a wall menu called “Ye Olde Brewmaster List” or other beverages from a list “Ye Olde Fountain for Youth.”

The exterior of this Lakewood location features a vintage sign in the shape of a shield with javelin spears and the caption “Ye Olde Publick House.”

In 2017 Me-n-Ed Pizza had 60 franchises, mostly centered in Central California, though I have no idea if any of the rest of them have this same cool ’60s feel.

A small stage features blue grass bands on Friday and Saturday evenings to add to the cultural mish mash .

I like to order the small or medium and max to two to three topping. The crust turns out even more crispy than the large or X-large sizes.

Pizza is really great a little bit pricey but well worth the money just be aware there's many different sizes of pizzas

Delicious pizza ! Taste like Shakeys and Strawhat pizza combined.

Part of a chain that started in Sacramento in 1958. This location was built & opened in 1962. In 2017 they have 60 locations.
