Woody's Wood-Fired-Pizza. A small quirky kitschy hole-in-the-wall, restaurant, with a large Coca-Cola bottle Neon sign. A pure example of Americana, standing alongside an old alignment of Route 66 on 7th Avenue in Joplin, Missouri.

The location and building seems run-down, but it is open, for business. This Mom & Pop resturant has a retro looking Coke Bottle Sign, but not a route 66 sign to be seen, even though it stands alongside the Mother Road.
"Due to the mining history of Joplin, the realignment of US 66 in Joplin was partially for traffic and partially because of cave-ins of mines built under the highway. It zig-zagged through the city, following Seventh Street (now Route 66), Main Avenue, Broadway, St. Louis Avenue, Euclid Avenue, Utica Street, Florida Avenue, Zora Street, and Rangeline Road.
Later, US 66 went straight east from the Kansas state line on Seventh and then north on Rangeline." (
