The sad news of the last Armand's Pizzeria closing in Rockville can be good news for the collector or aspiring restaurateur. That's because it's auction time, and everything must go! And that includes what may be the ultimate collector's item for the Armand's pizza fan: a genuine Armand's delivery truck! It's what appears to be a modified 1985 Toyota pickup truck, and Japanese Toyotas run forever, right?
Imagine the chicks you could pull tooling around the DMV in this Armand's pizza truck. And here we thought that a sign left from the Montgomery Hills Armand's was the best Armand's memento left out there! As a bonus, the doors are emblazoned with the name of the venerable "Congressional Plaza." I'mma let you finish, Taylor, but the Lakeforest Mall truck was the greatest MoCo vehicular prize of all time! But Armand's is making a "bid" for close second. And in this auction, you can make a literal bid. Current bid for the truck? Thirty cents! Hurry!

The few times I ate at the congressional Armands,I was really impressed with their pizza, the problem for me is that I live in Gaithersburg, so wasn't close enough to eat their frequently.
ReplyDeleteI think what always stood out for me at Armand's was the pizza sauce recipe. It's not my favorite style of sauce, but it was a distinctive flavor. Kind of like Ledo's with their crust, and to some extent their sauce - it's impressive when a pizza chain can distinguish themselves with a unique flavor amid hundreds of competitors.
