As always there is two sides to every story but when funds are missing from the bank account and cannot be accounted for, it’s time to pull the plug on an idea or person. Yes we also told him to sell slices.

I went there looking for a slice of pizza and they didn’t sell pizzas by the slice, BIG, BIG mistake… it may be centrification after all, this companies may have a little cash to open restaurants or whatever, and they don’t even take the time to understand the clientele… weird.

So would I, in theory, but even I can’t eat an entire pizza by myself… Limiting your target customer to people ordering for a group (or, OK, two large and really hungry dudes) is going to unnecessarily limit your customer base, IMHO.

SHIT WAS EXPENSIVE AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH KOREAN KISSES. 2/10 WOULD NOT BANG SOBER (0/1 MISSION SCALE).

They were chasing hard for the buck and you know it.

Slices would have been nice, but probably wouldn’t have been anywhere near the same. Escape was close, but I’d rather have a nice pie than a cheap slice.

That location could really use a burrito joint.

Yeah…the pizza was really tasty. But, you get off work, pop out of the train station…and then wait 20 min? For an $8 pizza? When I could just walk 2 blocks to Escape?

I’m still not sure how a pizza place can survive there with Arizmendi just around the corner. The best traditional slice in the hood will always be Serrano’s

yes, it is truly sad that when gentrification becomes so rampant, small business owners have unspecified differences with their business partners. Gentrification also causes bad weather and pimples, I hear.

my first suspicion was “did they tell him to start selling slices?” because if so, I kinda agree with them.

@Geno – this is not an example of gentrification gone wrong (that would be the shootings on 24th…not enough gentrification).

This is an example of dramatically mis-reading your customers.

You’re located next to a BART and a bar…and you think your customers want to come in and wait 20 minutes while you cook a whole pizza? Yeah, that’s a fail.
