I think I only ate there once or twice, but they had truly delicious pizza, and it was also the very first time that I got to taste a Calzone (innbakt Pizza).
Mama or Mamma Leones, which was located in Torggata Oslo, and I visted it in 1997-98 with my mum.
Kind of a nice way of making things up, as she had taken me to the hospital earlier, for some MR photos, and yeah, I sure did not enjoy being trapped inside that noisy machine.
Also, just around the same corner/street, were the once huge movie and music store, known as Virgin Megastore, which I think lie just next to the classic cinema Eldorado.
However, Virgin Megastore did not live to be old, and disappeared in 1998.
I really liked that store, but I guess that was the price, for having far too many growing music and movie stores in one city, and few could really compete in the long run, with the biggest fishes in the pound, who also would vanish within the upcoming years as well.
A similar attempt on having a huge two or three stories record store set in Oslo, came with Free Record Shops and their shop located at Egertorget. Another one that I enjoyed much, because of the great location. The subway was not far off, and a whole bunch of other similar themed stores were just a few minutes away. But also this one, closed almost less than 1 year in the making.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the most nostalgic toystore from the early 90s, which was Edwis Leker or Toys, and that was located in the second (or was it the third?) floor at Oslo City shopping mall. Damn, I must have visited that store, so many times with my parents. Half of my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures were from that store, and they always had the coolest and newest one, lying on wait for the kids.
These days, the same location is used as a toystore, but of course, now with a whole different name/label behind it.
Not sure when Edwis faded out for good, but I believe somewhere during the early or mid 00s. But yeah, some absolute sweet nostalgic memories from seeing that green larvae appear on the toysign, knowing it was not long until the fun would start.
When I got a few years older, and my interest shifted towards watching and playing football, then the Football Shop, that was not far away, would be the more ideal place to go. Then onwards I would keep on going to that same floor, but this time in favor of Platekompaniet (Music and movie store), which is still there, as is the Football Store, I think.
