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.”

Sorry Jabee, welcome to the business world, where failures happen.
dunno. seems like black-o-phobia to me (carbon footprint notwithstanding).
That’s some creative excuse for burnt pizza.
place where Eastside could gather, connect and call its own,”
Maybe you should have worked on making decent, if not good, pizza.
as we always called it in the kitchen - “extra golden-brown and delicious”.
When I was a kid, my mom would say “the carbon’s good for your teeth” if the toast got burnt.
I still like really well-done toast to this day.
It all comes down to foot traffic and cash flow issues, Williams said.

Wrong. It all comes down to the Biden economy which has severely harmed mom and pop businesses.
If small businesses were not killed off by the Covid scandals, the Biden/Harris policies did them in.
I hope Williams and others learn that Harris will only increase this crisis facing small businesses.
........easy to see why they're closing......
Leave the charcoal, take the pizza and the canoli.
I’m sorry, but the crust in the picture looks a wee bit disgusting. Maybe it’s a new recipe I had not heard about???

Maybe they should have focused on making good pizza instead of using all the latest cool words:
started this journey
create a space
for our community
gather, connect and call its own
a sense of belonging
collaborations
I wouldn’t eat at a place espousing this verbiage.
“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,”
Not a good reason to start a business. You start a business to offer a product and earn a profit. Be as nice as you want, but if you don’t make money, you’re out of business.
I’m seldom sorry for being “old school.”
Helps with the heartburn ? LOL
Yuck.
Even my wife thinks that pizza looks inedible, and she cremates marshmallows by choice. I don’t like burnt stuff.
Sounds like a Kamala word salad, no wonder he failed.
........not very appetizing looking AT ALL........
Providing a place for locals to sit around does not pay the bills unless they also buy a lot of pizza.
Starbucks was able to afford people hanging around by selling lots of very overpriced coffee.
All crusts matter
