Oh, Ookpik... You just had to ruin the winning streak with this seemingly impossible to identify image. So little clues in this picture, you can't even see the pizza place, just the sign. That white square building in the background on the right might be a clue, but I don't recognize it...

I agree - there is virtually nothing to identify the location in this picture. I was hoping that someone may have heard of, visited or remembered the pizzeria.

Don't know whether it's related but this webpage mentions pizza and Delcore.

Yep, I saw that - that is the only thing on the entire internet that mentions pizza and Delcore.

Just a couple of hunches...

Seems to be on the eastside in the 6/7 mile area between Mt. Eliot and Van Dyke.

I came up dry. My 1961 Detroit phone book has only one resident with that last name. Maybe it's just outside the city limits.

The building in the background might be a Telephone company building. I know there is one similar on Cadieux/Mack.

Yea, that is a strange one. There are very few people in the state with that last name and only 100 or so nation wide. I would guess the pizzeria lasted only a year or two. A friend or relative probably took the photo because I can see no reason to take it otherwise. Thanks for the attempt.
