Why This Unique Pizza Shop Featuring a Charcoal-Infused Crust is Closing
PMQ ^ | 9/20/24 | PMQ

When Jabee Williams opened Eastside Pizza House about two years ago in Oklahoma City, he wanted to build a place that served as a community hub on the east side of town. For two years, the pizza place accomplished exactly that, Williams said, but is now being forced to close.

It all comes down to foot traffic and cash flow issues, Williams said.

“We started this journey with a vision [t]o create a space for our community, a place where Eastside could gather, connect and call its own,” the Eastside Pizza House owner and operator wrote on the pizzeria’s social media channels. “We wanted to offer more than just food; we wanted to offer a sense of belonging. We saw that at our events, collaborations, camps, donations and sponsorships.”

I like slightly burnt popcorn slathered with Irish butter & sea salt.

To each his own.

Gross. Would never eat it even if the charcoal is a toxin absorbent

Is that a O-Community Organizer Pizza?

“Charcoal-infused” pizza in Oklahoma sounds like something eaten by men working the oil fields.

I don’t mind a tiny bit of char on a wood or coal fired pizza, but that pizza looks like a failing business plan.

The reviews on the pizza are generally positive. The black crust isn’t burnt, but it is just a gimmick. (It’s black to make some kind of racial statement.)

It’s also an attempt to sell upscale pizza out of a strip mall location. The exterior looks nice for a strip mall, but the interior looks more inviting for carry-out.

There are two far superior options within 4 miles - Hall’s Pizza Kitchen and Empire Slice House. If you’re in that neighborhood already, that’s too much of a walk. But I’m already driving two hours to get to the city, so it doesn’t matter to me if I go 2 miles east or west off of I-235.
