Panino's
The very first Panino's Italian restaurant was opened in downtown Colorado Springs by Everetta Lou and Tony Frasca in 1974 under the name of Pizza Plus. In 1991, the original Pizza Plus restaurant was expanded and renamed Paninos Restaurant. The name change came as a result of the popularity of the World Famous Panino Sandwich. Along with the Panino sandwich, the restaurant serves a large variety of Italian Pasta dishes, Pizza, Calzones, Salads, and Prime Rib.
