"Mid City Pizza was founded in 2013 by Rand Owens, who took over a Banks Street pizza parlor formerly known as Lazaro’s. It became known for its thin-crust pizza, colorful artwork, and old-school arcade games like NBA Jam and Simpsons Arcade. Owens expanded with a second location, MCP Uptown, and bought Banks Street Bar. After Owens's death in 2020, Mid City Pizza continued under his friends and family but closed its Bank Street location in December 2022, facing criticisms of decline in quality." - Clair Lorell
