The extended Elvira’s family threw a party this afternoon, to celebrate their re-opening after an extended remodeling.
But it was hard to tell who was smiling more: the Yiozanakos family, who have owned the popular deli/grocery store/pizzeria/community center for 15 years, or the hundreds of Old Mill/Compo Beach residents who rely on it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, conversation, gossip, and a “Cheers”-type ambience where everyone knows your name (and and knows everything important about you).
Welcome back, Nick, Nicki, John, Stacey. And congratulations — the place looks better than ever!

Gyros, kebabs, pizza -- it was all there and more for the Elvira's crowd. Note the handsome new cabinets!
Elvira's fans of all ages enjoyed today's party.
