📰 News we're reading

• Popular frozen pizza brand discontinued after nearly 60 years in the freezer aisle (nbcnewyork.com) — Woodridge gets a nostalgic shout-out as the hometown of Clara's, the restaurant opened by Celeste Pizza founder Celeste Lizio's daughter, which still operates here even as the iconic frozen pizza line is discontinued nationwide. Residents may feel a special connection to the brand's history, rooted partly in their own community, while fans elsewhere say goodbye to a nearly 60-year freezer-aisle staple.
