Probably.  They also sold them at the ballpark.  I think there were also a 
few Pros Pizza joints in the Chicago area, though I think they didn't last long.

There was a Sport Magazine profile on Santo back in about '66, in addition
to the pizza business he also founded an insurance company, made the Million
Dollar Round Table as an insurance salesman, and was later in the oil business.  

Quite a departure from the usual post-baseball business interests of athletes 
back then, owning a sporting goods store or a beer distributorship.
