If the old adage of “there’s no such thing as bad pizza” was true, you would never see a pizza restaurant go out of business. However, there certainly are better pizzas than others. And in order to justify spending more than the three bucks you’d drop on a Red Barron or Tombstone pizza out of the Walmart frozen food section, the pizza restaurant needs to offer quality for the price point. While there are always other factors involved with the closure of pizza eateries around Phoenix, the price to quality ratio always plays a big roll. That may be a reason why one local pizza restaurant closed after less than two years of operation.

You wouldn’t think twice about eating at an embassy. You’d probably receive some of the best food found in that particular country, right? You should hope. However, if there were food safety problems that would put them more in line with Abuelo’s Mexican Embassy, a restaurant in Chandler that did not perform adequately during its most recent health inspection. With four Priority Violations, it had the second-worst score of the last thousand restaurants visited by Phoenix-area health inspectors.

Phoenix, AZ

2024 has been a terrible year for chain restaurants. These businesses have floundered, often hemorrhaging money along the way. There has been no shortage of restaurant chains filing for bankruptcy while shuttering dozens (if not hundreds) of locations across the country. For the most part, fast food chains have avoided this fate, thanks to offering quick, easy access to food without all the cooking. And yet, even chains are starting to feel the heat. Around greater Phoenix, you might have noticed several Fuddruckers have closed. While signs say this is temporary, chances the closure is anything but.

Buffet restaurants are more than a struggle for restaurants to stay on top of the food quality. With dozens, if not hundreds of items sitting out on heated platters, it requires the restaurant to stay vigilant, constantly monitoring the food as well as temperatures. Combined with all the food and prep work going on in the kitchen, in terms of health safety requirements it is far different from a traditional restaurant. It is a wonder there aren’t as many all-you-can-eat buffets around Phoenix any longer. It truly is a display of restaurant analytics. However, not all remaining buffets ace the analytics, as one restaurant recently proved after receiving a D grade on its recent health inspection.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.
