have you ever eaten at - or at least heard of or seen - Italian restaurants with names that don't suggest those places are Italian?

Millie's Italian Restaurant

It takes a special kind of person to not realize that a place named Millie's Italian Restaurant is an Italian restaurant.

I think that user meant to say just "Millie's".

This sign is up in the window of the former sandwich shop in the neighborhood strip mall.  I'm curious as to the concept.  The initial thought is "a calzone except in a tortilla rather than pizza dough" but I'm not sure the tortilla stands up to pizza sauce without making a sloppy mess after two bites.

Hillsborough, North Carolina has one that is brand new:  Willie's.  This is an updated version of an old pizzeria location, and it seems to be operated by the same folks.  Some 25 years ago, it was named "Pizza Transit Authority"; later became "Pop's Pizzeria" and more recently "Anna Maria's".  Needless to say, the original name was intriguing to the railroader/rail transit guy. 

As of June 2023, the GSV still shows "Anna Maria's".
