One of the Garcia's founders sold out and moved between you and Denton years ago. He bankrolled a food truck called Tomato Pizza at East Side Denton. He serves original recipe slices.

If you are brave enough to venture there, PM me. Great outdoor big screen...loved watching Illini beat Houston this spring, almost as much as our comeback E8 beatdown of Squawkeyes at COSM. beating USC football at COSM was magical too.

Either that recipe is crap or I have fond memories of some really terrible pizza
