Serving Quality Since 1952
John and Mary Guida
In 1952 John and Mary Guida opened a sandwich and hot dog stand called “Johnny’s” in a small rented used car building. After a year of hard work and determination, the couple purchased what became the first John & Mary’s location on Harlem Road. It opened its door for the first time with three sandwiches: the Regular (Capicola Sub) for .50 cents, the Royal (Capicola & Sausage) for .75 cents and the Sausage Sub for .60 cents. Later in 1954 the A-Bomb was added. Today, John & Mary’s great food and service has evolved into what is considered the best pizza, sub and wing restaurant in the area.
John & Mary’s Southtown location in Hamburg, NY is owned and operated by Paul and Sharon Raymond. The Raymonds have been welcomed by the community and their team in turn works to promote good food and good service in a family-friendly atmosphere. The Raymonds also pride themselves on keeping the integrity that was established by John and Mary Guida in 1952, and they bring that same pride to the Town of Hamburg and the people they serve.
