Fascism comes from Italy, pizza also comes from Italy... Coincidence? I think not.

The likelihood of a pizza takeaway in the UK being run by or even visited by an Italian is very low.
In Scotland most chip shops and non-chain pizza takeaways are owned by Italians or their descendants. I can’t think of a chip shop near me that’s isn’t named after an Italian second name.
Interesting. Where I am (small town in North West England) about half of the chip shops are combined chip shops/ Chinese take-aways and the others along with the general type take-aways (kebabs, pizzas and burgers) are run by Eastern Europeans.
The small number of Indian restaurants locally seem to be run by Indians.
It's different again here in the north-east. Every chip shop is either named after the owner or founder, the name of whom is almost always English; or it's called what it is or named after where it is (e.g. The Chippy). Nowhere is combined, but the Indian and Chinese places usually do pizza, chips, chicken nuggets, and that sort of thing as well as whichever cuisine they specialise in.
Every Indian takeaway I know of is run by Indian people, but only a few Chinese takeaways are run by Chinese people around where I live.
Benito?
That's a first name
As a nod to the history of the location, they should serve a Fascist Pizza. Now we just have to figure out what type of thickness and toppings it has.
Whatever the toppings, put all of them on one slice and then eat it before it goes out. Blame a foreigner for eating it.

You just get an empty box, and if you complain they beat you up.
It's just bread and cheese, no sauce. And the cheese is underdone. And all the toppings aren't on the pie; they're just pushed all together in one corner of the box, and someone stepped on them.
Thick crust, with mayonnaise and slices of raw potato.
Ground fascist
There's a 2016-spec "gammon" joke there but I'm too slow today to come to with anything decent.
Several twiglets tied together with spaghetti
Ash and tears are the toppings as a reminder of what you end up with when you go full fash
Pizza... is a fascist construct.
EDIT: pizzaism?
It'll be the best god damn pizza you've ever tasted, but if you ask for anything besides Hawaiian, you disappear forever.
controversial & hot take
I prefer the pizza
Pizza is more useful than fascism.
Pizza relieves hunger while fascism forces minorities to go hungry.
but does it have a basement? 🤔
You're asking if it's based?
refefence to the modern fascist/qannon preoccupation with pizza parlors and basements.
Pretty sure this is a pizzagate joke
I think all fascism should be turned into pizza
You can just go to a Papa John’s if you want a pizza that tastes like empty promises
Say what you want about Papa John or his business, but their garlic knots are elite
I am spoiled in NJ; can’t go ten feet without hitting a great small business pizza place with great garlic knots.
Dear diary,
Today marks the first time I have wanted to go to New Jersey.
;)
IT DID
Why do these guys so often have the same overall physical shape
They’re all wearing similar outfits, it’s going to create some uniformity.
Word "uniforms" comes to my mind
It’s always well-fed young white men who don’t do physical labor.
It's also the energy. They're standing awkwardly, a little too straight but having trouble picking their chins all the way up, feet a little closer together than is comfortable.
It's an imitation of discipline and strength without the substance that would make it look natural.
You can't deny that Pizza does make everything better.
The modern photo, like the old one, is out of focus. Why?
I think their rebrand is quite impressive.
I was thinking of a joke about pizza not requiring armed guards, but I'm honestly just glad to see the change.
So they lowered the threshold for entry
Doesn't look like the same place to me. More like two similar pictures of different places.
How could it be any more similar? It's a difference of almost 90 years
Well I was trying to find one thing that was exactly the same. The ground is level in the top photo. The curve in the curb is different. One building has a step down in the doorway, but not the other. The wall between the two buildings appears to be wider in one photo. I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just saying as far as I'm concerned, it could just be two very similar structures at two different times.
The ground doesn't look level at the top photo
But also remember that asphalt is removed and re-applied about once every 20 years. The asphalt was probably redone at least 3 times. There's a lot of possibility for slight variation over such a long period of time.
Um, that's a cobblestone street. And it goes on the ground. There is no asphalt involved in the construction of a cobblestone street. It's possible the ground has settled. But I call on you to show me anything in the two pictures that is identical. Again, not saying it isn't the same place, just that I don't see anything in the photos that I can see that something has simply aged, instead of completely changed.
