I still live in that area and I was there in 1970. You must have
tried Trolly Car pizza which was closer. It was a pre- Bethesda
Cinema and Draft House by showing movies while you ate.
I think Stained Glass had Pizza. Not to mention Capri Restaurant.
You could buy pre-made Lucia's Pizzas at Lucias in Wheaton which 
were fairly good.

In 1976 Il Sole di Italia opened. The 'Old people' fresh from Italy
*really* knew how to make Pizza!!!! Once the 'youth' took over it
slowly but inexorably slid down hill. You missed the time when it
had the *greatest* pizza in Maryland ... even Baltimore!! Aspen Hill
was *extremely* fortunate during those times!
