Uncle Howie's Pizza, Lugonia Avenue and Church St.

Good pizza, not as good as New York Pizza, but differently good. Thick crust, large cheese taste. Sort of an out-of the way location, on the corner of Church and Lugonia (Highway 38). They were measuring for blinds when I was there, including a man people referred to as Howie. Could it be the man himself? Or is he mythical like Ronald McDonald? I did not follow up, dear readers. Couldn't beat the deal, though, slice of pizza and a large Coke (20 ounces or so, in a big red plastic Coke "glass," the kind mandatory for family pizzerias, since they probably are issued by the Coca-Cola Company to small business owners), $3.50. Downtown Redlands could use a good Pizza-By-Slice (only) place, sort of like Fat Slice in Berkeley. Mmmm . . . Fat Slice!
