Dave Mancini, owner of Supino Pizzeria (one of Detroit's most popular and most nationally-recognized eateries), remembers the days when he was first starting out in his little Eastern Market pizza parlor when Jerry Belanger, owner of the Park Bar, would come in and order a dozen pizzas ... just to give them away in his bar.
