The Pizza Bistro?

Previously on Whipped Cream Difficulties:

Oh, wait. I’m sorry. That was a promo for “Hawaii Five O” (the real one).

Previously on WCD, I wrote about the Mangia Pizza bankruptcy hearing, and the proposal by “Cloud Cap LLC” to take over the remaining restaurant (and the stand out at the airport).

Today’s Statesman informs us that Cloud Cap won. Apparently, the Mesa location has been closed (I had not noticed that, but I have not been up that way recently); Cloud Cap plans to re-open it, and is hiring former Mangia employees.

In answer to our question about what would happen to the two independently owned location if Cloud Cap got control; those have been rebranded as “The Pizza Bistro”, which strikes me as being a pretty stupid name. However, I suspect we’ll end up doing dining conspiracies at both “The Pizza Bistro” and the new Mangia once they have a chance to settle down. (Generally, SDC policy is to allow three months from opening before visiting a restaurant.)
