Straw Hat Pizza Remains Vacant After Family Emergency Leads to Closure

The pizza parlor has been vacant for more than a year. What should replace it?

Seeing vacant storefronts is nothing new along San Mateo Avenue.

So it is no surprise when a business closes there and nothing replaces it for a while.

That has been the case with Straw Hat Pizza, which shut down more than a year ago.

But what happened?

I was able to find out a little more information from the real estate company in charge of selling the property.

Apparently, the owner of the pizza place decided to close the business because he had to go back to the Philippines to take care of a family member, according to an agent who works for Prudential San Bruno.

What, if anything, do you think should replace the business?

Location: 495 San Mateo Ave.

Owner: 

Assessed value of property: $879,995

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
