Some stories that have been relayed
recently:
 Over
the years, Bill’s has been the destination for many who
have come to share a meal
together. Many a romance began and flourished there. One
couple fondly recalls their first date, which  included
dinner at the old Bill’s on Battleground Avenue. Owner,
Donna, recalls it was she who
trained
husband, John, how to make
doughs when he first started working there.
While doing this one
day, he asked her
for a date. They will soon celebrate their 35th wedding
anniversary.
 Donna’s
fondest memories were during those early years. Her very
first job there was as switchboard operator. Customers
placed their orders via telephones at the table. This
system also provided a unique way of communicating table
to table by customers. If you saw someone you knew (or
would like to know) at another table, you asked the
operator to connect you. What a fun first job that was!
 My
brother, who now lives in another city, shipped me two
pairs of tennis shoes from his company. When I asked how
much I owed him, he replied not to worry about it – just
get him a couple of those Pizza Pub Specials!
 A
woman remembers when she was a teen and grounded by her
mother, being released from punishment long enough to go
and pick up her order at Bill’s.
 I
used to live in Greensboro and in high school went to
your Battleground location with my friends. When that
closed I would make a special trip to High Point Road to
buy 5 of your lunch specials and freeze them. I now
live in Reidsville. When I was on bed rest with my
first child nine years ago, it was also my 30th
birthday. My husband surprised me that night by going
to get take out of Bill's pizza for dinner. That was one
of my favorite birthdays!! Now your Oak Ridge location
is wonderful for me because I drive through Oak ridge 3
days a week! Me, my husband and our 3 kids are all BIG
Bill's Pizza fans!
 In
1981, I was a student at UNCG. Some guy, a bodybuilder,
asked for a date. He took me to your restaurant for
pizza; I remembered it was cut into squares. While he
chatted on about weights, running, and the Olympics, I
munched on the best pizza I have ever had. Since that
date 26 years ago, I have been talking about that pizza.
I moved back to Greensboro in 2003. No one here had a
clue about the location of the restaurant. That is until
last week!
 My
supervisor, a 25 year old young lady, LOVES pizza. She
raved about one place she found. "Miss Toni, that pizza
is everything!" When she brought in the leftovers, I
realized instantly that she was talking about MY
restaurant!! This is a dream come true. I'll be
seeing you soon. . .
 I
had the pleasure of enjoying Bill's Pizza when it was
located on High point Rd. I attended Ben L. Smith high
school back in the 70's at the same time as Donna.
Bill's was one of the best places around to eat pizza if
not the ONLY place. As i grew older and things changed
in my life I still returned there to enjoy the pizza
even after my family grew. I was really excited when I
learned Bill's was coming to Oak Ridge. People will
really enjoy the food and the wonderful people that own
Bill's. They are great.
 Stories
of years past are shared every day as people come to
reminisce about their most cherished times at Bill's.
What about you? Do you have a special time or
