What's a Grinder?
Everybody knows what pizza is, but what exactly is a Grinder?
The term "Grinder" can be traced back to the East Coast, where, during WWII Italian immigrants setup sandwich shops close to the shipyards. Their freshly baked Italian rolls were filled with generous amounts of meats and cheeses and were then baked and garnished with lettuce and tomato. These super-sized sandwiches were a favorite of the hard working men who ground rivets off the warships. The friendly shop owners referred to the men as grinders and the ever popular sandwiches also came to be known as Grinders.

- I'm from New England but I grew up calling those sandwiches subs until I moved to New Hampshire and they were "grinders" on the school lunch menu. The pizzas at Bellacinos must be bella gusto.
