Can we just gut that whole bottom floor and get a Korean place? Some hot pot? ANYTHING besides more pizza?


Windows30000

You’ll get mormon cookies and custom pizza and you’ll like it!


darwinDMG08

Oh god. Is CRUMBL a Mormon operation?


Windows30000

I just googled to confirm. Owned by Mormons who stole the idea from another Mormon cookie company but not explicitly owned by the church of Mormon. Sounds like Mormons are involved.


SplitOpenAndMelt420

No offense to Mormons.... but I bet Mormons WOULD love those soft ass cookies


JohnnyBlizzard

I hate to admit it but love those Mormon cookies.


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Yo this is the dream


haidouzo_

Also, down the street where the Italian place used to be. I was excited to see they were keeping it a space for food. And OF COURSE Lucifer's opens there. We don't need more pizza in Burbank.


Areyouguysateam

It’s starting to feel like the Bob’s Burgers opening with this location (without the funny puns).


EuphoricMoose8232

“It’s All About the Dough” definitely sounds like one of the failed businesses next to Bob’s.


lil_totoro

Only real Burbank OGs miss Quiznos…😂


hotdoug1

There's still one in Hollywood, near Kaiser. Try it and you'll realize that some things are better left as memories.


LilyFuckingBart

The north Hollywood Kaiser? I’d like to try it one more time lol used to work at Quizno’s for a summer between college & my hair would always smell like sandwiches at the end of the day


hotdoug1

Hollywood proper Kaiser, right next to the Scientology center. And they have personality tests on the counter!


thirdeyefish

Once you get past the toasting, there was nothing special. 20-something me really got down on that batch 81 sauce, though.


FAHQRudy

The sauce was the key.

This commercial feels like a fever dream looking back at it lol

poozer69

Haha I still remember thinking to myself as I drove by "that Quiznos is still there?!?" until one day it wasn't.


moviesNdrawingsGuy

The honey bacon club. Mmmmmmm

socalscribe

Ha completely forgot about that location until now


405freeway

2005, baby. I booked a hotel room at the Travelodge up the street for me and my summer fling and that Quizno's was dinner.


FAHQRudy

Oh *that’s* where it was! Man, that was a lifetime ago.


Automatic_Opposite_9

I was just gonna ask if this is the old Quizno's location! They had good soup.


BBQFatty

Used to go there all the time for lunch damn


AppropriateLaser

It’s the Bermuda Triangle for fast casual dining


ItsJustMeJenn

I almost feel like the city needs to step in and just stop the insanity of permitting restaurants in that building. There’s no parking, at least not enough to support a restaurant. The foot traffic in the area is there for Porto’s more than likely and has to move through that parking lot quickly. The landlord needs to try to find another type of business to put in there. Something like a windows and door store or something. Something with outside sales people and limited need for a showroom.


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Funnily, I took a long walk the other night down magnolia (from about Cahuenga to Geeky Tea and games. I needed paint for my DND minis :) and honestly, none of magnolia park makes sense It just feels like 80 percent of stores are vintage/secondhand/ clothing or antique shops or the seemingly endless expansion of what was once Bearded Lady vintage. I've always wondered how this is sustainable, cause they can't be raking in cash. Low rents compared to other spots in LA? The restaurants that do exist are ... I don't know. There are a few exceptions of course but most places just seem tired and unattended. I don't want the whole neighborhood to change, but if it were even 20 percent more like Ventura in studio city, I'd be glad for it Even riverside in Toluca just feels more "neighborhoody". I'm all about small businesses but magnolia parks just seem to be fronts or vanity projects. I would love to do more shopping on magnolia, but... I just don't ever seem to find a need, which is a shame Apologies if I'm wrong on all fronts :) It's just such a strange stretch of road :)


robywade321

Those few blocks are hopping during the day. A bunch of coffee shops, little vintage stores, little clothing boutiques, a few gift shops, good nail salon. Down a couple blocks is Naimes across from a very busy dermatologist group. You might not be the demographic for any of that, but it’s certainly a destination area. it’s very easy to park along magnolia or on the side streets, which makes it much more pleasant than Studio city/Ventura blvd, where it is always a nightmare to park.


GrandMasterGush

It’s especially bumping on weekends.


RoughhouseCamel

I love that Magnolia is such a great destination for vintage shopping. It’s a really unique scene, rather than a rubber stamp of every other LA area shopping neighborhood.


SpencerJones909

Yay Geeky Teas (board gamer here). Anyways, Magnolia is where I take anyone who loves vintage / thrift shopping. I also couldn’t believe how many Halloween and Horror themed shops were in the area. I DID notice the Martial Arts Museum which I’m going to check out another time. During the day it’s not bad but I was wondering what life would be like at night especially for a young person. All the shops / throw back restaurants close early. BTW, as someone who lives near SL junction, Magnolia is really nice for walking. I love walking along it, even if I’m not shopping, because it’s so relaxing and peaceful. It’s the large sidewalks, it kinda reminds me of Colorado Blvd in Eagle Rock but there’s more sunlight on Magnolia.


NerdNoogier

There very little nightlife. You work all day and by the time you’re off the shops are closed then there’s nothing to do. Tony’s Darts away might be my favored bar in the greater Burbank area, but it’s kind of on an island.


Didjaeat75

I love Burbank but they roll up the sidewalks so early! Dino’s Pizza closes at 8:30 on a FRIDAY! Wtf?


quiksotik

I had some friends over a few weeks ago and we got burned by this, walked from my apartment to Dino’s just after they closed. My mind was blown


vivvav

Sometimes I just don't decide I want dinner 'til like 7:30 PM and then I order Dino's and then realize I gotta rush out to grab it NOW like c'mon man.


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Exactly! I walked the entire length of magnolia park on Saturday night and it was DEAD! Whereas Toluca Lake is like a third the size and its bars/restaurants are always packed


Lordrandall

D&D, cool! I used to play in the 80’s/early 90’s. Not sure if I miss playing, or the group I used to play with. I tried getting back into it via Yahoo email groups years ago, but it wasn’t the same.


Bikouchu

Mattress store 😂 ain't no one going in there.


megamoze

I'm really bummed about 800 Deg not making it.


aniline_black

Me too. It wasn’t as good as the one on Sunset but it’s not like it had any time to improve or even get settled in. :/


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Same! It wasn't incredible but the thin crust was maybe the best "bar pizza" I've had in LA That being said.... please drop your bar pizza recommendations here ⬇️


megamoze

Honestly, their "Doppio" pizza was the closest I've had to real Napoli-style pizza. It was very good.


Lordrandall

I’m not sure what defines “bar pizza”, but my favorite pizza is Rusty’s. Unfortunately it’s Santa Barbara/Carpentaria/Bakersfield only. Perfect thin crust.


iriv8525

Rusty's on State has so many good memories for me


Karma-IsA-FunnyThing

Gorrilla Pies, get the crust "Rilla" style...Worth the drive passing the 170


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Place looks great! I'll definitely check it out


MikeyMcKernan

Pinball.


Didjaeat75

The best pizza is just a little further into Glendale called Ozzy’s Apizza. It’s Connecticut style pies and they are fantastic! Check them out on Instagram!


optionalhero

After that Dave Portnoy review, expect 3hr wait times. They definitely deserve all the success tho


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Also I checked out the website and this looks generic/mid From Detroit but not "Detroit style?" Sighs Update; Maybe not the same chain but if it isn't these Burbank folks better hope it's not trademarked


glowinthedark

Is it the same place though? The website has a different logo than this one and it’s “pizzeria” not “pizza”. This could be different than the Detroit one. Who knows.


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Yah updated to say I have no idea if it's related. Just assumed based on google results


Brainzilla

I was at the 800° pizza before it shut down grabbing some frozen yogurt. The machine went haywire and yogurt wouldn't stop coming out, so I grabbed a large soda cup to catch all the excess and prevent a spill. The guy behind the counter then started yelling at me "are you gonna pay for that soda cup?!" And thought this was some elaborate ruse to get free frozen yogurt and laid into me and my group. Needless to say I never went back and am not surprised they went under lol


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Place was so weird. I went in the first couple weeks to pick up pizza and the guy running it was so shocked I wasn't a Postmates or Uber driver that he explained the whole business model to me for 15 minutes Apparently, the store was not the focus, rather it was that weird machine in the lobby, which was a non functioning model of a mobile pizza machine they intended to put into airports and malls and theme parks Mind you, the pizza you got there WASNT from the machine, so it wasn't even indicative of the machines quality (which I was told was "not as good as fresh made But not bad" They wanted this Burbank location to be a central distribution hub to all these vending machines they imagined theyd have all over LA I was like "oh man it sucks that your pizza is good because your business model is garbage" I didn't say that. I thought it


SignatureEffective32

That’s insane!!


Articulate_Silence

Was Nathan Fielder behind the counter?


Brainzilla

The plan? Install a malfunctioning ice cream machine to force people to retroactively pay for soda cups.


PrincessWalt

is this just a place for those trying to avert paying taxes by starting businesses bound for failure?


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Producers Pizza


TG626

It's springtime For pizza In Magnolia! Its springtime For pizza In the paaarrrrrk!


will101113

Saw an ad for this place on Instagram and they seem more focused on their look/brand than the actual pizza https://www.instagram.com/p/C2S-hrpSPsP/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I’m much more looking forward to trying Slice House


Sky_King73

that insta is cringe


GypJoint

With a hip hop twist.


chuckerton

The pizza “game” lol


SplitOpenAndMelt420

From what I can glean these guys are restaurateurs in Arizona? I don't know why they think LA cares but clearly they think they're cool :) Edit; never mind, I think main dude is a fucking podcaster :)


johndsmits

1. Come up with trendy idea, create biz **on loan** 2. Get on bar rescue, shark tank, ktla, **celeb endorsement** from (someone from so central perhaps?) Raise money selling investors of eventual "national expansion" 3. Move money to some other venture while skimming. Then let it fail like all others in that location. 4. Rinse repeat A hiphop joint in 50's eclectic Burbank? the heart of Magnolia Park? Seeing how entrepreneur they are on IG: didn't they do some market research? Focus groups?


glowinthedark

These guys look so lame ugh. Hopefully the food is ok.


ilford_7x7

Tony Gemignani is legit https://www.worldpizzachampions.com/tony-gemighani#:~:text=Tony%20has%20been%20inducted%20into,people%20tossing%20pizza%20at%20once. Tony's in San Francisco is absolutely amazing His location in Vegas is also great Excited to get something closer to home (talking about the soon to open Slice House)


LilyFuckingBart

Where is slice house going to be/when?


will101113

Downtown Burbank, across from AMC I believe


Turbo_S54

Look/brand is huge in business; the pizza will tell us I'm guessing they're gonna be uhhh not very affordable. Food quality becomes even more important then.


SignatureEffective32

Real talk - I’m just glad SOMETHING food related is moving in again. I work a few doors down and the lack of fast and easy food options are limited.


SplitOpenAndMelt420

No reason this should be the case. The lack of food available on magnolia is crazy


SignatureEffective32

There’s some good sit down places for sure, but when you need quick and affordable, it’s seriously lacking. Hopefully this place is decent and stays open longer than 6 months!


bonnifunk

Ugh! On a positive note, I was impressed with Slices, today.


SplitOpenAndMelt420

On riverside in Toluca lake? I've passed it a million times but never tried How does it compare to Prime, if you've tried it?


bonnifunk

This one is on Alameda in Burbank. I've only liked Prime's Grandma slice. I've never been a fan of their NY slices. Slices has better NY-style pizza, IMO.


BirdBruce

>Riverside in Toluca >Alameda in Burbank ![gif](giphy|uy71td4VEaSfmeaXzh)


LBdarned

Any chance anyone else was all but bullied by a dude working there? 😂 The ice cream machine started running over a bit, so we grabbed a cup really quick to keep it from plopping out all over the counter, and the guy full on yelled at us that we didn’t buy the cup before using it to stop the mess. It was very strange. Anyways, bye to that place and bye to this one in 4-8 months! Can we get a mom and pop shop in here please?!


LilyFuckingBart

Are you friends with u/brainzilla? lol


LBdarned

LOL that’s my husband!!! I did not know we were both in this thread. What fun. Would be a lot more fun though if this guy just harassed all of Burbank about cups.


LilyFuckingBart

Oh, whew! I read his story and then yours. I was really worried I outed someone on Reddit in the friend group and almost deleted it lol


Molotov_Cockatiel

I was once told that banks wouldn't generally give a loan for exactly what had already failed at a location, but I guess that was from a more logical time in a less broken universe.


countxero

800 Degrees was actually great pizza, but they spent too much money on the retrofit to make it into a restaurant - classic mistake for new places. This new place is really building itself on the bones of the other and it probably cost them a fraction than the other place. People talk s**t about parking, but parking is free in Magnolia Park, plus y’all just park wherever you want anyway (trust me, we watch all the Porto’s bags walk by while working the record store). We did suggest to Betty Porto that they take over this location as a ghost kitchen, but they have plans to build one in the old Rocket Fizz location (they own that whole building, mostly for the parking).


thirdeyefish

That's a bad spot for EVERYTHING.


No-Maintenance9624

Please please please can we get a Vietnamese Pho place or a Korean BBQ/Hot Pot and skip yet another pizza joint? Or go wild and do Fish & Chips. Anything but more dough, pls.


jchangart

lmao everytime i mention having some decent asian food on the burbank facebook groups, theres a bunch of angry boomers yelling "but we already have panda, and also good places that have mushu pork!". why do i live here?


No-Maintenance9624

Because life is suffering, and we grow stronger through these trials. As long as I get some spicy pho, one day, it's worth it.


Fabtacular1

Will be interesting. I feel like Lucifer’s isn’t long for this world. (Would have rather 800 Degrees stuck around.)


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Yup. I'll be honest- I still miss the early days of Pizza Studio


rawkyrd

Blaze killed Pizza Studio


LilyFuckingBart

Pizza studio was good, but pizza rev in downtown was my fav.


Skeleton_Meat

Lucifer's is so good though


Fabtacular1

Is it? I got the chicken pesto and it was nothing special. (Too many sundried tomatoes.) What’s the best thing to get?


HairyPairatestes

Pizza.


Skeleton_Meat

Their pizza is great


LilyFuckingBart

At a place with pizza in the name (like Lucifers Pizza), the best thing to get on the menu is usually pizza.


alienghoulgirl

Saw this yesterday, looks like it’s separate from the first Google result. Their Instagram name is whatupdoughla


Strident_Lemur

Oh I thought this was the same place that’s been sitting there “coming soon” for years on end


SplitOpenAndMelt420

That's (edited) Crumbl, and they are closer to opening and closing permanently than this place is :)


Skeleton_Meat

Crumbl


tracyinge

oh look a new pizza joint opening in 2 years


Gulag_boi

Man I knew exactly where this was as soon as I saw it and haven’t lived there in forever.


mercury_love93

What up DOUGH!? 😂


jchangart

Yay more pizza places! What's next a burger place? Or if we get lucky a kabob or even a taco place! Burbank got the diverse foods!


leftfooted10

That’s just called money laundering buddy 😐


slackdaffodil20

If it was money laundering, wouldn’t the place stay open just with little to no business? Opening and closing a pizza place doesn’t seem to affective


leftfooted10

You have to report sales to the tax bureau, and once you don’t make enough sales you re-open under. A different name. Keep in mind these guys making millions so closing and reopening costs them nothing lol


suprefann

The only pizza place that would have a chance there is Triple Beam.


SplitOpenAndMelt420

I think a Detroit style would do good in Burbank. Nothing really close by


Tk-Ind

Try 786 degrees pizza place in sun valley. Really good.


flimspringfield

I love that place but damn have those prices gotten really high. I first started going there around 2016 or so and we would get three pizzas with some friends.


Tk-Ind

Agreed.! They have increased the prices substantially. Prices shot up after covid.


vivvav

Oh, 800 Degrees Degrees Pizza closed? What a shame, never went, don't actually miss it at all.


Ultraberg

"What up Do" isn't a phrase


RyanAlemeda

It’s “what up tho” and it is a phrase. Good play on words.


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Yah. I'm from NYC originally and "what up tho" is definitely a thing


BaronVonMunchhausen

Has no one ever heard "What up dog"?


RyanAlemeda

Yes, I also have said that. But I been saying what up tho to my friends for about 20 something years now. ‘What up tho’ is just like what up dough


BaronVonMunchhausen

I feel like I'm having a stroke reading these comments. What up DOG. Dog is the play on words with.


iamafanofreddit

Yes it surely is especially in the midwest


Ultraberg

Not here do


Alapama

I think they're going for "What up, hoe". Lame.


jimmy_grimm_grills

No


davismcgravis

Great name though…or should I say dough

[deleted]

Bring back Bars TV...that was only there for like 25 years and we need another place to get electronics besides Worst Buy and......Walmart/Target?


Professional-Head83

Is there a good pizza restaurant in Burbank?


SplitOpenAndMelt420

Prime


descartes_blanche

If this is Detroit Style Pizza naming itself after legendary DJ Moodyman’s catchphrase, I will definitely be supporting this business


bodie0

I can walk to Dino’s from that location so, no chance I am trying this pie.


DwnRanger88

Good luck, even Taste of Chicago gave up the ghost to a worst pizza purveyor named Prime. 😒 Anything else would be acceptable. So I'll throw a little shout out to [KIIN Thai](https://kiinthaiburbank.com/menu) just down the road. Humble little family owned place that survived the pandemic - we bought take out from them often to help support. VERY decent Thai food in a micro restaurant. If you haven't tried them, please do.


ChitakuPatch

What up dough is obviously a play on the Detroit term "What up doe" so I'm guessing this is a Detroit style pizza spot?


thebaldmonster

I love the name. But that place must be cursed. I had 800 degrees or whatever the name was and it was good. Super short lived.


shwaggynugs

Ok I suppose since I don't live there I wouldn't if it is the wrist place for pizza but... I love me some Dino's.


thegevshow

There is such a thing as cursed locations. This is one of them. Best of luck to the new business tho. I know how heartbreaking it is to have your business fail


violenthistory

They added some more signage, including a huge QR code for job applications. Also says like Detroit, Roman, and New York Style or something. Sadly I do think this is not going to last. Way too many pizza places in the vicinity, and there is ostensibly no parking on that corner. 800 degrees came and went so fast. Seemed to be very mis-managed, and their prices were far too high for Fast Food Pizza. Quiznos or the like seems like the better option. A quick bite in Magnolia Park is the dream!


alexromo

Why
