Some students said they will now be heading to College Pizza because it is close to Acme's old location and is still convenient for those who live on the corners of Beaver Avenue and Locust Lane, the area popularly known as "Beaver Canyon."

Shana Brennan (junior-business management) lives in Cedarbrook Apartments, 309 E. Beaver Ave. "It's right there," she said.

Last March, the council passed legislation that required businesses to close their vendor windows at midnight. At the time the ordinance went into effect, Acme Pizza was the only business affected.

Shortly after the ordinance was passed, Acme Pizza owner Dave Cini ended his seven-year stay in State College, blaming his leave on the ordinance. Cini decided to move to another college town in the South, where he would feel more welcome, he said.

Aside from College Pizza, other local pizza places not located within the immediate area of Acme's former location are noticing the influence of its absence.

Cory Lutz, store manager of Romeo's Pizza and Hoagies, 110 E. Beaver Ave., said his restaurant also has seen an increase in business.

"It's busier mostly on weekends after the bars close up," Lutz said.

Lutz said the increase in business has had both positive and negative effects.

"The positive is, yeah, they (students) come here more often. The negative side of that is that we get behind and they get rowdy," he said.

Although many students will find other options for pizza, there are still those die-hard Acme Pizza fans who say State College will never be the same with the business gone.

"I just don't eat. I'll go back to my room," said Krista Kaczmorski (sophomore-architecture). "(Acme Pizza) had the best deals, and even though College Pizza is the next best, I don't go there."

Other students said they miss the Acme Pizza's vendor window and fast delivery.

"I miss Acme so much," said Erin Jackson (sophomore-architecture). "It was just so convenient, you carry a buck and you get a piece of pizza."
