The shop is usually full of customers, music and conversation.

“Sometimes Uncle Pete creates a relaxing atmosphere while customers are enjoying the pizzas,” said Mr. Hong, a regular customer who come to this shop every two weeks. “I think he is a talented guy. He can play many kinds of instruments such as banjo, guitar, piano, and violin. There are also some amazing paintings on the wall. ”

The menu at Uncle Pete's is unique. The pizzas have names such as Springfield, San Diego, Covington, and Mozambique, and all the names have meanings.
