Amelio's, a McGill Ghetto pizza mainstay at Milton and Ste. Famille has shut down after 30 years of serving up za.A court seizure document has been posted in the window warning against anybody grabbing any valuables from the inside.
The joint was opened in 1985 by then 48-year-old Christoper Philip Scodras, who died in Florida almost exactly one year ago at age 77.
His daughter Leah returned from a corporate finance job in the States five years ago to open up another Amelios' at 1205 Bernard but that didn't quite work out. 
Scodras said that his pizza joint was popular enough to solicit franchise requests, which he always refused because he thought a restaurant should have a family feel.
He also had a son Chris Jr.
The premises at 201 Milton is owned by the Milton Park Development Corporation and circumstances of the closure remain unknown. Anybody with ideas please feel free to leave them below or write to megaforce at gmail.
They used to be on Lorne in the basement of a small highrise that had replaced a greystone.
ReplyDeleteI guess his daughter regrets leaving that job now!
