June 17, 20197 yr Is this the place that was Germantown Pizza back in the day, in the strip mall across from Holmes before you go up the hill? If so, kudos to putting your money into the community, but what a weird location for your first slice-house. I'd have no issue patronizing the restaurant, but the amount of times I'm looking for food in that area can be counted by eclipses.
June 17, 20197 yr I disagree. Many Bengal fans wanted him gone well before he was gone. It was one thing to give him a chance initially. However everywhere Pacman goes, trouble seems to follow. That's not a coincidence. The same fan base that continues to make excuses for Pete Rose and begs for inclusion in the HOF, despite the fact that he flat out lied to everybody for 20 years. I get that he's got a really checkered past. But he also has done a lot of charity work, and is currently (literally) putting his money where his mouth is. Pretty much all everyone knows about the guy is what the media tells us. My guess is those calling him "worthless" or a "thug" haven't done any research on his other interests outside of football, what charities he donates to, or how he takes care of his friends and family...or heaven forbid, actually met the guy. Quite honestly, I haven't either. But I hope his business is successful, as he can add a lot of value to that community. Wishing failure on the guy isn't just hurting him. Again, he's certainly no saint, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that he's a better dude than you think he is.

I don't remember it being Germantown pizza (I'm not from this area), but did stop into Giuseppe's a couple times (it wasn't very good). From what the article said, Jones gets his hair cut at the barbershop next door, so that's the connection as to why he chose to open there. It's close enough that I'll give it shot, and if it's good, I can see going there a few times a year.

Seems like a really odd reason to open a restaurant in that location, proximity to his Wig Doctor, but again, just appreciate him putting his money into the area. Hope it works out for him.
June 17, 20197 yr End Zone Pizza just had their grand opening this weekend in what recently was Giuseppe Pizza right near Holmes High School, and also in my neighborhood. I can tell you with all certainty that I will never step foot in the place. I just cannot patronize the establishment of such a worthless piece of crap. :no: Tishana Holmes & Pacman Jones Open Pizza Spot in Covington | The River City News I suggest everyone read the article before commenting. I am not an Adam Jones person at all, but this is his wife running this business. I am rooting for success for her and for a business success in the community there.

Giuseppe's not so much.

June 19, 20197 yr Author The only difference between this establishment and the others that you go to is that Pac Man’s past is known. I’m sure you unknowingly give your money to pieces of crap every day of your life. Perhaps so, but I won't knowingly patronize crap if I'm more so aware I may not always have the benefit of knowing but in this case I do.
June 19, 20197 yr One of my Facebook friends just posted the following: Pacman’s pizza joint is open. Seems ironic that the lunch crowd today was mostly law enforcement.
