To whom it may concern,
ANNOUNCING A NEW ADVENTURE FOR NANCY’S PIZZERIA IN NILES!
A heartfelt THANK YOU to every one of our cherished customers and friends who have supported my family and me in the over-half-century since we opened Nancy’s Pizzeria on Golf Road in Niles back in the 1978. Your loyalty has meant the world to us, and it’s been an enormous joy and privilege to serve your cravings for stuffed pizza and other Italian specialties over the years.
I’m happy to announce exciting new changes as we look forward to the future. Are you ready???? Are you ready? for a whole new way to eat, drink and play? Nancy’s Pizzeria on Golf Road has a new name: Old City Pizzeria & Sports Bar, and it’s already becoming the ultimate hang out destination, in town! We still feature your food and beverage favorites, plus the gaming, now with a brand-new bar, big screens, late night hours, and all-around good vibes! Though I am passing the torch to a new owner, I’m not going anywhere, and I’m still very much involved in this new adventure. So I invite you to come by (8706 W. Golf Road, Niles) and check out our new look.
We, Fred and I, ( Marisa) no longer we will have the Nancy’s name above our door...As soon the new Sign comes in to replace our Nancy's sign, we will strongly be advertising the change made................But, it is important for now to understand where we are and making the adventure possible to share with you all. But the legacy of my parents, Rocco and Nancy Palese, who invented the Original Stuffed Pizza and founded the Nancy’s Pizzeria dynasty has been fulfilled. My parents and I have always had the deepest gratitude for Dave Howey, of Chicago Franchise Systems, Inc., who began franchising Nancy’s Pizzeria back in the 1990s and now has an expanding network of Nancy's restaurants beyond the Chicago area. Dave’s trust in what my parents created has been the cornerstone of our success, and I am truly thankful for the relationship we have built. Dave and his family share the same commitment to quality and customer satisfaction that you have come to expect from the Rocco and Nancy Palese family. Nancy's will always be around.............not run by me but as I am explaining, Dave and family Chicago franchise Systems. (NANCY'S)---Their Legacy Alive!
Thank you again for all your support!
