In 1961, Eddie Peck bought Spallacci’s operation, along with his fabulous recipe. Continuing the pizza tradition, along with his wife Dorothy and mother Mamie in his north Minneapolis neighborhood restaurant and bar, Eddie made sausage from scratch, while Mamie simmered special sauces and kneaded fresh dough for delicious homemade pizza. Eddie’s pizzas quickly became the neighborhood favorite with standing room only at the old Broadway Pizza®.
When Eddie had to move his pizza restaurant due to I-94 construction, he stayed in the north Minneapolis neighborhood that made his pizza famous. Purchasing land in the heart of the railroad activity that drove north Minneapolis' growth, Eddie honored the neighborhood and people at the heart of his pizza restaurant’s success by choosing a railroad theme for his new Broadway Pizza®.
