I'm sorry they're gone. When I was a student down the road at Hampshire College, El Greco was a staple. I was never too crazy about the pizza, but I do fondly remember the whole wheat crusts. I'm sorry to hear it's gone. Was the brewpub the Old Amherst Ale House, in the same building? That was a nice little place. Jon Dembling [email removed]
