For over 50 years, the 440-square-foot, standing-room-only pizza joint has sat largely unchanged on the corner of Exposition and National in Palms, beloved for its New York-style slices that are thin, oily, crispy, and the ideal quick bite before catching the Metro E train across the street.
Christina is famous for handing out terms of endearment like the little Parmesan packets that come with each pizza. 'You're never not entertained by the owners,' says one of the Coop's regulars.
The Fransens met about 30 years ago at the Coop. Christina was a full-time teacher who worked the register on weekends to make ends meet, while Mike transitioned from customer to employee.
The Coop has experienced a loyal customer base that doesn’t mind the wait on busy nights; the ambiance, aroma of freshly baked bread, and personal touch from the owners create a unique experience.
