The perfect pizza and pasta is now but a cherished memory for devoted fans in San Pedro and Carson.<\/p>\n<p>With roots in long-ago Terminal Island, Domenick\u2019s original location in Carson was right on the rail line. Hungry railroad engineers could pull the locomotive up to a special window at Domenick\u2019s to pick up pizza and sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>Terminal Island in the \u201940s was the working heart of the harbor, beating with the steady rhythm of the canneries, the railroad and the Bethlehem shipyard. Loose cargo and bulk loads preceded the stacks of today\u2019s container traffic.<\/p>\n<p>The Radio Cafe was the beginning of the Sardisco restaurant legacy, turning out stacks of sandwiches for the workers on T.I. from \u201944 to \u201955. By \u201956, Domenick had partnered with a friend who owned an empty asphalt-paving company warehouse in Carson. The restaurant evolved to include pasta, pizza and the legendary sandwiches. Just off the Harbor Belt Line run, the new \u201cDomenick\u2019s\u201d used a window in the back to hand off sandwiches and pizza to rail workers. This pass remained in use until 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Domenick\u2019s opened in San Pedro at the restaurant on Western Avenue, offering a full menu of Italian dishes, pizza and pasta. Domenick\u2019s sons, Domenick and Anthony, and daughter Theresa ran both restaurants, pleasing a loyal customer base for over seven decades. The Harbor Area will miss the wonderful food and happy atmosphere at both Domenick\u2019s establishments. <\/p>\n<p>Like this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Domenick&#8217;s Pizza \u00a0 By Gretchen Williams, Columnist Domenick\u2019s Pizza and the Sardisco family hung up the pizza peel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235456,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[106441,106442,106443,131,133,132],"class_list":["post-235455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-endofanera","tag-harborlegacy","tag-familybusiness","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235455\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
