Iconic Orono Pizza Shop Takes Us On A Trip Down Memory Lane With Amazing Video: Check It Out
I'm not crying. You're crying!
For anyone who grew up in Penobscot County area or attended the University of Maine in the last 90 years, Pat's Pizza in Orono is likely part of the fabric of your youth.
A legendary pizza shop deeply connected to the Old Town/Orono Community, this family owned business has been buzzing since they first opened the doors in 1931.

And while your memories may not go back that far, to ensure we all get a peek back into how Pat's got its start, they put together a video from yesteryear that hits you right in the feels, as they say.
Featuring pictures of a young Pat and the original Pat's Pizza crew, to some nostalgic shots of Bruce, his son who took over the business after Pat passed, and who himself died last year, it's incredible to see not only the faces that formed the business, but also early shots of Orono.

With storefronts that have long since changed hands and become other things, it's pretty neat to see that not a lot has changed in almost 100 years when it comes to the original Pat's location.
