subway244 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 The Pizza Bar is a classic dine-in restaurant located in the heart of small-town Paleto Bay. Specializing in pizzas, hoagies and other classic American fare, the Pizza Bar is truly one of the last old-school experiences in upstate San Andreas. EXTERIOR OF THE PIZZA BAR, c. 1983 OUR HISTORY The building currently inhabited by the Pizza Bar was constructed c. 1918 by entrepreneur James Allison, son of Andrew L. Allison (d. 1901), a decorated Confederate general from the state of Mississippi. In the early 1900s, much of Paleto Bay's economy was centered around the gold mining industry. James' building soon inhabited Allison's General Store, which served the citizens of Paleto Bay with provisions, horse tack and other basic supplies for nearly half a century. In 1961, the building came under the ownership of the Leigh Family, a prominent legal family active in the Flint County Circuit Court. The Leighs, who themselves were cousins to the Allisons, sold the building and the general store was transformed into Leigh's Pool Hall, a pub-style establishment. The roots of the Pizza Bar were planted in the early 1970s, when the pool hall began to offer pizzas and other snacks to the after-school crowd. The business was such a success that the pool hall was later rebranded to the Pizza Bar in 1972. Throughout the 1970s, the Pizza Bar gathered a local following and had the reputation for being a hot-spot for dining in rural Blaine County. In December 1980, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as the "Allison Building", and officially became a part of Paleto Bay's history. Into the modern era, the Pizza Bar has continued to prosper as a popular hangout spot for hungry workers and after-school students of Paleto Bay High School. Though under new ownership of a firm from Los Santos, the roots and heritage of the company have been preserved... and the classic eating experience Blaine County has come to love is still there in the heart of Paleto Bay.
