    By far, the best pizza in San Diego. I have gone to the Venice Pizza House to eat for 57 years of its 68 years of opening. Please find a way to keep it open. Spread the word and go there to eat as often as you can.

      theres a local burger shop here in utah, called "the burger bar" it also is 68 years old. i eat there three times a week, easy. i yell at them every time "you cant sell a burger for 3.99" they keep doing it, and every day im afraid will be their last. im terrified to lose them. ive been there with 3 generations of my family....
      they wont raise the price for "inflation" because then, people wouldnt eat. i swear to god, ill get the bank manager that forecloses on them. mark my words.

      No it's not. It's their duty, to stay relevant and serve their customers. Good food? Go f*ck yourself. 68 years? Go suck a a big wiener. ....
      here is an idea... Be a good businessman. And stop crying about your failures.

    That's such a bummer. It's a shame that the economy and everything health related has been so hard on small business owners. I wish them the best and hope for at least another 68 years.

      Health * related . Or in normal language the biggest conspiracy since JFK -
      A privately funded disease created by the NIH ( Faucis company ) 2 blocks from a virus leak he knows about from emails dating back to 2017 - so none of this was a “ health “ issue - it was a hide the facts of the dirty government issue . The government tanked the economy on purpose- wake the fuck up - outa the woke state of California

    They should ask for volunteer workers, (seniors) that want to help out. That would be a great way to bounce back. Go to the senior centers & recruit, offer a meal as pay. There are many seniors wanting to help or give back.

    They have that right, best pizza and Italian food in San Diego hands down! napoleons is close to it but this place just has the best freshest ingredients.. I’ve grown up in the area and my dad used to eat here after Hoover high football games. Went here a few times the last month and the reason they’re being affected is half the other side of the dine in restaurant is closed, due to staffing issues. The last 2 times we went we had to wait in the front to be seated even after we called in and they said no wait. Thanks to Biden, dems and the raised gas prices and recession coming, everything is up accept the economy. Now look at what they caused. Businesses like this loving place to be in a bind. I’m sure after everyone sees this on Facebook they will start to eat there. But the problem is, will they be able to hire more employees to cater to the crowd?

    Couldn't the city or local county provide any assistance to these business owners as an incentive to stay open given their long history in the community. Moreover they were forced to close for close to 2 years. The more empty stores and vacant buildings the less diversity and business opportunities there will be.
