| OMG...so many AU college memories. Love their pizza! |

We were just discussing whether to get one more spinach and garlic deep dish pizza but I think we'll probably just live off the memories.
Seemed to say there'll be a restaurant out by Bethany still though? |

| I have so many fond memories of Armand’s from my time at AU. Last year I was so nostalgic that on my birthday I picked up a pizza from the Rockville Armands. It was awful. The last Armands closing seems like the end of an era, but I can certainly see why. |

| I cannot believe my boyfriend (now husband) and I used to be able to polish off one of their meat-lovers pizzas back when we were just out of college. I can feel my cholesterol rising just thinking about it now. |

| As noted in the article, the Bethany Beach outpost is still open. It won’t close for lack of business while my extended family is alive. |

I remember their sign imploring customers not to ask for double the cheese because they already use triple the cheese, so they’d have to remove some. I had language labs on the weekends. I’d finish my lab, pick up a slice at Armand’s, and head back to the dorm to watch college football. Class of ‘96 |

| In the early ‘70s, they had a sub shop on Wisconsin next to where Cactus Cantina is, and they had a cheeseburger sub that I craved as a 10 year old. The large had three patties and cost maybe $5-6. I remember when my dad found out I was wasting my money on extra food like that he gave me a lecture. |

| My dad used to drive to the one in Rockville because they gave him a free slice for pickup vs delivery. |

The spinach was our standard order, too. Why was it so good? |

| I understand the nostalgia, but really the pizza was never very good. |
