Godfather’s Pizza
From Madison Pizza Wiki
Godfather's Pizza is a national pizza chain founded in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1973. It had several Madison restaurants from about 1980 into the 1990s[1].
History
The chain's first Madison restaurant stood at 632 University Ave., at Lake Street, in a green one-story metal building put up in the fall of 1979 that a 1982 State Journal story called "the ugliest building in Mad Town"[2]. A north side restaurant at 1201 N. Sherman Ave. followed in about 1981[1]. In May 1996 the city's license list carried Godfather's Pizza, Inc., with Denise E. Fergusson as agent, at 714 S. Gammon Rd. on the west side, the building that had been a Shakey's in 1993[3][4]. When the Gammon Road restaurant opened and closed has not yet been found.
