608 ROOSEVELT ROAD · closed March 2018; the 2015 episode at pointer
The town's modern eating house of record stood at 608 Roosevelt Road: Memories Pizza, the family pizza parlor of Kevin O'Connor and his daughter Crystal — eight tables, Sherman's ice cream beside the pizza — kept by the O'Connors for nine years when the Associated Press profiled it in April 2015 (so from about 2006), and closed in March 2018, its closing announced by a sign in the window and reported by the South Bend Tribune; local accounts gave the reason as the owners' readiness to retire. The shop's April 2015 passage through a national controversy — the Religious Freedom Restoration Act interview, the eight-day closure, the reopening to long lines, the crowdfunding — is this build's Controversies record, and Food carries it at pointer only, as the atlas of the town's eating places requires the shop's existence, course and end, not its episode.
