About

Since 1989, the customers of this eclectic pizzeria have been writing messages, place names, or otherwise doodling on one dollar bills which are then glued to the walls, tables, ceiling or anywhere else they will fit. According to servers, there is now around $40,000 covering the interior. Look for your hometown, state or alma mater, or just enjoy the many funny comments while feasting on excellent pizza.

The practice of decorating with one dollar bills on which customers wrote messages began when one of the employees suggested it would make for an interesting and fun décor. The owner was skeptical but agreed to take the employee's bet that he could have 20 bills posted by the end of the ski season. With some rather open bribing of customers, the employee won the bet and the rest is history. To this day, customers can ask wait staff for a marker and create their own work of art to add to the ever-growing collection.
