COOL! Now if we could just get a hockey season, I’d have an excuse to go down there and try it.

Not the best location to sell pizza or pretzels. Seems like an afterthough to build the structures in the alleyway.

  You call that an alley? I dont know the market for pretzels but this is a GREAT spot for slices. You do know where this is right?

    I don’t think any of those kiosks do very good business. Nobody ever seems to be in the smoothie place. The crepes place never has a line. This pizza looks very, very average but didn’t try it. I picture the ideal slice as being thick and overloaded with vegetable toppings with a crisp crust and drizzling of cheese. These look more like greasy jumbo slice junk. Just doesn’t seem like there’s a market in that location for it.
    
    Also, I get English as a second language hurdles, but if you’re going through the effort to start a business I just think it shows a lack of attention to detail when there are spelling errors on the menu.

      Maybe they don’t pay attention,to detail, but with all the kids and tourists that hang out there, plus Verizon center and the theater, I bet they will do great selling blah slices. Cheap, accessible, easy to grab snack is perfect there. In my opinion, anyway.

      I can tell you that the smoothie place does pretty well and makes great smoothies

      I think you are greatly overestimating the average Chinatown consumer.

The pizza is okay for their first go at it…though the slices I had today where made with that pre-made crust!!! It’s owned by the same guys who make the crepes next door!!! For $3.00 a slice and $2.00 for a hot dog they have doing great especially when Verizon has an event!!!

Has the rowdy groups of teenagers problem been solved yet? I hardly ever go over there anymore because the vibe is not that welcoming to adults.

  that’s what i was thinking. i hope it works out. i’d heard business owners were using some high tech, high-pitched noise makers to keep the teens away … but i dunno. i havent been to that theater in a long time.

    I’m pretty sure that device was dismantled a while ago:

I went to a movie on Friday night and there were lots of people eating slices. It’s a good option to avoid overpriced movie theater snacks.

I’m surprised Auntie Anne’s closed down so quickly. Those pretzels sell like gangbusters at the malls…

  It’s easier to pump Pretzel Smell into an enclosed space.
