Brownstone Pizza
Posted September 1st, 2008 by Meg
This one I’m keeping short and simple:
Service was fast and friendly and the food was good. Atmosphere was semi-awkward; they had TVs playing horse racing. All pizza slices with toppings were just cheese pizza with toppings reheated on top. There were no premade special pizzas made available by the slice. I don’t know if this is common or if we were there at a bad time, but my slices with toppings reheated on were not as good as they would have been if the toppings were baked initially with the rest of the pizza.
I am glad that there are more independent pizzeria places popping up throughout the city. However, it’s location might not be the most lucrative, it is literally down the road from Casa Bianca, rated as the best pizza in Los Angeles. But, their service is fast and next door to the amazing Colorado Wine Company, making it a convenient spot to stop by before or after sipping a glass of wine.

Eagle Rock locals have been taking advantage of this. You order a slice (or a whole pie) and they’ll deliver it next door at Co Wine Co so you can eat in the wine store and have a glass (or bottle) with your pie.

watched an epi of we mean business with Bill Rancic and I couldn’t believe that they have resorted back to their old way of doing business. How ungrateful can a person be? Sure, I know that reality shows don’t show the whole pic, but to have these experts invest their time, and invest in the business with all of the upgrades and then not utilize it properly. Honestly, I think that maybe they just wanted free adverting and a free makeover (computer equipment, tv’s etc) and planned on doing things their own way all along.
I don’t live in CA, but if I ever visit I’ll make sure to never stop in regardless of how great the pizza may be (and most reviews have stated that it is great) simply because Gunther has such a lack for business that it will probably go under soon. I mean, really, how many people say that we could sell the business when the business isn’t even making money??? Maybe, gunther makes a good pie, but that does make a great business!!!!
Get real, gunther!!!!

Brownstone Pizzeria is doing so bad that they recently opened a second location in Pasadena, CA. There is beer and wine now. On the weekends, the wait for a pie is usually over 45 minutes and don’t even think you’re going to find and empty seat. Oh yeah, Gunther has no clue what he is doing.

To Realist - it doesn’t matter how many people are in the store, the bottom line is there enough revenue to satisfy financial obligations. Customers waiting 45 minutes for food is a total disaster. The need to expand is there because of the wait time for food and the standing room only crowd indicates a need for expansion. Do they have the money to expand?
A 45 minute wait time for food is a clear indication that they still don’t have a clue to running successful business.
