Jay Tolkoff has closed PJ's Subs (4500 E. Speedway Blvd.) and opened the T6 Filling Station in the old Long Wong's location at 2500 E. Sixth St. The place serves East Coast-style subs, says Tolkoff, and plans are underway to open a bar in the back in the very near future.

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza
Mary Zaepfel and Kathryn Jensen opened Mi Pizza (pronounced "My Pizza") at 4558 E. Broadway Blvd., Suite 100, six months ago, but only recently got their sign up. The place was formerly Rockin' Pizza; the new owners say the menu is pretty much the same. Hours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday; and noon to 8 p.m., Sunday; 322-5865; mipizzatucson.com.
Macaroni-and-cheese pizza? It's a novel concept, and officials at Tucson first CiCi's Pizza Buffet, at 2912 W. Ina Road, say it's rather tasty. The chain restaurant serves standard and oddball pizzas, salads and desserts in an all-you-can-eat format for $3.49 for ages 4 to 10, and $5.49 for those 10 and older. Hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday; and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday; 408-3266.
A new Marco's Pizza (10550 N. La Cañada Drive; 297-6500) has opened in Oro Valley, says owner Jack Ziegler. The buzz last year was that 11 Marco's locations were slated to open in Tucson, but the first one, on South 12th Avenue, closed after a few months (sources say it may reopen), while another at 6330 E. Golf Links Road appears to be doing fine. The Oro Valley location is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., daily, with delivery available.
