| Additional Information: | Floyd’s Pete-Za, a pizza restaurant owned by Floyd and Karen Peterson, was located at the northeast corner of East Third Street and South Knowles Avenue during the 1970s. In 1979, the couple moved their business to 1230 North Knowles Avenue and opened a restaurant with seating for 60 customers called Pete's Pizza. Ownership of the business was transferred to Steve and Terri Montpetit, the Peterson’s daughter and son-in-law, in 1990. Pete’s Pizza introduced local deliveries and wholesale frozen pizza production during the 1990s. The building was expanded in 1993. The interior of the restaurant displays integrity to its period of late 1970s and early 1980s service interiors. |
