He now finds himself in Brownsville in a historic downtown building on 533 East Thirteenth between Elizabeth and Washington.<br /><br />"I'm selling New York pizza by the slice," said the young entrepreneur. He added that Nolita is a shortened version of North Italy, a Manhattan neighborhood. "I import the dough from New York City. It has a sweet taste as a result of the water that simply can't be duplicated. I was importing the water, but it proved too complicated and expensive."<br /><br />"Eduardo is serving the best pizza in Brownsville," asserted George Ramirez, the godfather of downtown. "He has replaced <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gio's</span> as the most authentic pizza in South Texas. Don't take my word for it. Ask Ben <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Neece</span>. Or Tony Gray. Or Tony <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zavaleta</span>. Or Joe Kinney. Or Adela Garza. They will all echo my sentiments. This shit is delicious!"<br /><br />Morales learned the pizza business back East, but too many years in a distant land had him pining for Monterrey. Unfortunately, the drug wars that are reducing Mexico to an Afghanistan give businessmen second thoughts about opening their enterprises south of the border.<br /><br />"I love Monterrey," he rhapsodized. "It is beautiful. I would love to have a pizza place downtown, but the situation is intolerable. I wanted to be close to home. I initially thought about Austin, but I decided that Brownsville was a better option. For a new undertaking, we're more than breaking even."<br /><br />Morales elected downtown because pizza by the slice requires a heavy pedestrian traffic to be successful. Customers aren't going to drive to a strip mall to order a slice of pizza. Morales noted that nothing sells like pepperoni. His pizza-dogs are doing quite well too.<br /><br />"I sell the pizza at $1.99 a slice and the pizza-dogs for $.99," he continued. "You get your money's worth. I'm open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. I want to start something on Thursday nights with acoustic music. It will be BYOB although I'm looking into purchasing a beer-and-wine license in the future. It all depends on Brownsville's night life.<br /><br />"I'm hopeful about this location and downtown's future. If <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">McAllen</span> can do it, why can't Brownsville do it, too? <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">McAllen</span> doesn't have any of Brownsville's history or architecture."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8975636851109159442-7280941798076345368?l=downbrowntownnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
