    18: Michael Avena We're Back Pizza Orange, CT
    Oct 4 2024
    In this episode Frank and Kevin stopped by to see Mike Avena, who last year reopened the former Abate's Pizza location as We're Back Pizza right off the Boston Post Road on the Orange/West Haven line. Mike tells the whole story of how he started out on Wooster Street, semi-retired to Florida, then made his way back to Connecticut. We also get an up close look and taste of their signature famous Sicilian and Grandma slices. And of course the hilarious story behind the name "We're Back".
