Pizza Haven was a Seattle icon for decades before one too many bad decisions lead to their demise. Founded in 1958 and opening its first location in the U-District, just off the University of Washington campus, Pizza Haven was one of the first pizza companies to make deliveries. Employees used radios to relay orders to roving drivers who carried stacks of pizzas in ovens in the back of their brown Chevy Pizza Haven pickups making them one of the fastest pizzas in town. Whether you're a Northwest original pining for the one-of-a-kind taste of Pizza Haven or just a t-shirt junkie who likes weird shirts from another time and place, this one is for you!

Fratelli's Family Restaurant

We all like to eat out and enjoy fine wine and food. The couple in the painting, L'Addition S'il Vous Plait, are doing just that. They have enjoyed food but unfortunately too much wine has accompanied their meal. They now find themselves falling under the table bringing the content of the table,table cloth, plates, utensils, wine, glasses down with them. Obviously unconcerned as they are still in fits of laughter, but it is time for the bill, and as they are in France, there's only a few words they can say, L'Addition S'il Vous Plait, can we have the bill please.

The Lobster Pot was one of Blackpool's finest restaurants for decades and was alleged to be haunted. Ghosts aside, the restaurant was famous for its seafood with a menu that wasn't your typical English seaside fare. Upscale dishes like lobster thermidor and potted shrimps would be served with a pot of tea and a plate of buttered bread. The establishment was popular with locals and tourists alike, with many folks making a point to stop by Blackpool just for a chance to dine at The Lobster Pot before continuing on with their travels.

California Tiki Hut

Built in 1961, this is one of five Polynesian-themed Tropics motels once owned by Ken Kimes. The most elaborate of the chain was in Palm Springs, now called the Caliente Tropics Resort. This motel was previously connected to the next door Tiki Cocktail Lounge. Further down was a Sambo's restaurant (which now houses Modesto Car Toys). Most recently, the Tropics Motel has been renamed the Tiki Lodge. The pool area is fenced off and is opened seasonally only. The four tikis carved by Ed Crissman around the parking lot now have lighting on their chests/foreheads and solar powered batteries on their heads.

Toddle House was a national quick service restaurant chain, which specialized in breakfast but was open 24/7. By the 1950s, Toddle House had more than 200 locations in almost 90 cities. Originally, each outlet was built to the same plan, having the appearance of a small brick cottage, painted white with a blue roof. Inside, diners found no tables — just a row of 10 stools at a stainless-steel counter. Customers paid on the honor system, depositing their checks with the correct amount in a glass box by the door on their way out.
