Any mention of this pizza joint gives me mixed feelings because I used to live in the area. The pizza here was great, with the bread in particular being top notch. I myself put a pin in the map of which you speak. It wasn't always known as Besta pizza, I remember my mom telling me about the name change in the 90s or so and saying it means beast and asking why you would name a pizza place that.

So while I do not want to believe this place is afilliated with the overall pizza chain, so to speak, I do have extra info.

When I was about ten or 11 I was bored in church and began to read Revelation. I came to revelation 18 I think where it describes the number of the beast. The translation said something like, an intelligent man will figure it out or this requires intelligence. Having always been called a smart kid I prayed to God that I would be the one to figure it out.

Well, very soon thereafter my mom asked me to call in to that pizza place for our weekend pizza night. I remember dialing that number into a corded phone and punching in the last three digits as 666. My younger self was taken aback. How could a pizza chain be the AntiChrist? I dismissed it, but that little event IMMEDIATELY came back to me with the grand revelation that is pizzagate.

The original name of that restraunt was Pizza Boli's. I'm afraid I don't have much else to go on. The behind the counter and delivery staff were always very nice to us. They'd give us Christmas presents and everything. If there is anything suspect there beyond numerology and symbolism I'm out of ideas.

Pizza Boli's is still in operation http://www.pizzabolis.com/ . I doubt Besta was associated with them and perhaps bought the location of an old franchise?
