Here’s a little spin on the topic: let’s go back to 1954 and see what we’d have at a local Cincy pizza parlor:
What would you choose?

I seem to prefer that menu to other similar US menus posted here. Anchovy and onion pizza for me. How much would a dollar be worth in today's money?

I'll take my pizza with anchovies and mushroom thanks.
The internet says…$11.72.
Fried shrimp and fries for me. I'm wary of pasta dishes which just say "our special sauce" 
I had pizza at LaRosa's when we went to King's Island, two or three years ago with the grandson. Definitely nothing to write home about.
I also took a glance at La Rosa's menu today, in 2024. No more salmon, no more shrimp and, by the looks of it, no more anchovies. The simple pizzas of old ( pepperoni, or anchovy, or mushroom) have now been transmogrified into "gourmet" pizzas, like the chicken, bacon, onion and Ranch special
or the Focaccia Roma (pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, ham, 4 cheeses and focaccia sauce - whatever that is!)

LaRosa’s pizza is ok, but their sandwiches are very good.
LaRosa’s at King’s Island, unfortunately, isn’t a good indicator overall. KI licenses the use of the name mainly, and it’s staffed by KI employees, product is sort of premade, akin to eating at a name restaurant at an airport. It’s not really the same.
Yeah,I hear you. Franchises in Amusement Parks, sports facilities, etc., don't usually come up to scratch.
I don’t think gluten free existed back then so the closest to safety would be the salmon.
But only if it was fried separately from the rest of the bready stuff, which it wouldn’t be

According to the (relatively unreliable) sources in googlioogle, "gluten free" first appeared on menus, etc., in 2010.
Could be true. I really don’t remember when it entered the mainstream, it was both a blessing and the beginning of daggered looks n ridicule that - “you’re one of those” aka annoying person with fuss making tendencies!
