I prefer Wicks up near Bardstown.
Have you tried Bearno's?
I'm going to be up that way over the weekend...and after this thread I'm craving a great pizza pie... I'm willing to try Wick's on your recommendations.

It's the best. Plus we might have a better chance in the zombie apocalypse. The city will be getting hit by a bus the size of Texas. We will have a chance to load all the gunsYou and I are very similar in our tastes in living.I totally respect life like that. It's different character traits and that's always cool./—-/ I guess I’m spoiled. I live on Long Island and have hundreds of restaurants within a 10 mile radius. And a 40 minute ride on the LIRR into Manhattan has 10,000 more in the 5 bouroughs.When we go out like that, we have to get a hotel and everything. At least two hours away for a city like that. So we go all out. LolThe only places that sell expensive pizza also served other Italian food.. That's probably a big factor in my opinion on this.
When I go to a big city, I'm eating seafood lol

But I couldn't live like that. Lol it's makes awesome getaways though!
Out here I can piss off the front or back porch, shoot guns in the backyard, surrounded by wildlife, party with loud music, ride 4wheelers, let my chickens roam and more. I have always been in the country though. appreciating different things I guess.
damn, one store was going to bring the whole org down.Sorry LWNJ's. but the immutable law of economics triumph once again. Restaurants that are forced (or choose) to pay wages above market value to their employees have to raise prices, cut staff, or close shop. These losers were subsidized hundreds of thousands of dollar$ and still failed.
Launched in 2015, the fair-wage pizza shop will close at the end of the year, according to Bing Broderick, executive director for the nonprofit Haley House, which oversees the shop. While popular, the shop is not breaking even financially, which has put stress on the wider nonprofit organization
The challenge for Dudley Dough was to support itself, Broderick said. An offshoot of the Haley House, a Boston organization that provides food and housing to low-income residents, the pizza shop attempted to put a social enterprise model into action.
But after an analysis of the business’s operations and trends, the board determined that Haley House could not continue to subsidize the pizza shop without putting in peril its own efforts. Three other restaurants opened in the area around the same time as Dudley Dough and are still operating.
Last year, Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, donated $100,000 to Haley House, specifically for Dudley Dough. Despite the board’s decision, Broderick said, a “significant effort” is being made to support the staff at the shop as they transition to new jobs.

Yea that's why they just voted to drop their tax rate to 25%These small businesses are the ones that should be getting the tax cuts and help....
But the republicans seem to want to hand it all to the big corporations that cheat and crowd out these small businesses.
The only way minimum wage works is EVERYONE pays it.
You found one example. I found thousands.Thousands of stores that were not fair wage stores closed too. I guess paying shitty wages is not the answer to all problems as republicans claim.
These major retailers have closed more than 5,000 stores in 2017
I never claimed any of that.
This business was founded with the explicit purpose of "proving" that they could pay a "fair wage" and make it in business. They failed.

If you think businesses can't survive without paying a living wage... then how do you explain all the people that are living?
I managed a pizza joint. There is no way we could have survived paying wages like that. Not without charging a shitload more
I angel invested in pizza stores. Yes, you can. It's about how you deal your platform.
Bullshit. The amount of crap you spew is astonishing. The OP is about a fair wage pizza shop closing because the business model doesn't work. Address the OP and stop with your bullshit lies. You don't tell them well, and they are boring.

I wouldn't. The Bath & Body Works store just brought back a scent that I would love to have, but I am not about to pay what it is that they are asking for it. Last year it was like $12.50 a bottle and now its $18.50 a bottle plus tax of course which is 9.75% here in Tennessee bringing the complete total to $20.30. No way will I pay that much for a bottle of shower gel.If it was so popular people would of paid anything for it.The article says it was "popular".Pizza probably sucked..
No?
I am saying socialism works better than capitalism alone. We have a mixed-market economy.The only way minimum wage works is EVERYONE pays it.
So you're saying SOCIALISM WORKS! The government sets all the prices!

Well, of course, when people can get away with paying the lowest wages, they'll attract the customers with the lowest prices. However if EVERYONE has to pay a living wage, then everyone has to charge higher prices and people have to pay a fair price for things.
The FACT is the 'employees' were people with 'issues'.Or location , location , location..this story is ridiculous ...
The location is fine. 3 other businesses opened in the area at the same time and are doing fine.

Despite the pizzeria’s mission-oriented business plan, its mission to pay employees more combined with the added expenses of culinary and leadership training for its employees backfired as the additional costs made it hard for them to beat the competition.
Here are some of the problems:Well, of course, when people can get away with paying the lowest wages, they'll attract the customers with the lowest prices. However if EVERYONE has to pay a living wage, then everyone has to charge higher prices and people have to pay a fair price for things.
That only works if customers have no alternatives.
Like I said...fast food places are already struggling at their current price point.

That’s been problematic across the restaurant industry, as economic uncertainty and falling grocery prices have hurt the sector.
It is external to that sector.
The point is, it belongs to capitalism. Why not ask Congress to micromanage the tax code to give business a break.Here are some of the problems:Well, of course, when people can get away with paying the lowest wages, they'll attract the customers with the lowest prices.

Exactly my point. A restaurant is competing against the cost of cooking at home. A homeowner may not bother to learn how to repair a broken pipe over the cost of a one time plumbing repair...or learn to cut in and lay carpet...or reshingle a roof...but ya got to eat everyday.
