Now, under the new ownership of Sofie \u201cSof\u201d Martinez, the pizzeria is entering a new chapter\u2014one that promises innovation while staying true to its roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Family Legacy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sofie Martinez inherited Pizza This with her father, Davy Longmire, after they purchased the business from the original owner, Ciri. Ciri was known for being selective about who would take over the restaurant, wanting someone who would preserve its spirit. Sofie and her father fit the bill perfectly. \u201cMy father started working at Pizza This, and together we bought it from Siri, who didn\u2019t want to just let it go to anyone,\u201d Sofie shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Sofie, owning Pizza This is more than just a business venture\u2014it&#8217;s a personal journey. \u201cI\u2019ve managed and co-owned many businesses in San Andreas, but I\u2019ve been let down by them. I wanted something to truly call my own,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New Beginnings with a Respect for the Past<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While Sofie is committed to honoring the pizzeria\u2019s legacy, she\u2019s also looking forward to making some changes. She\u2019s considering a rebrand, with a new name and logo, but she wants her staff to be involved in the decision. \u201cThey are just as much a part of this business as I am,\u201d she said, reflecting the deep sense of family that defines her management style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Sofie\u2019s leadership, Pizza This is moving away from its past associations with gang affiliations and is embracing a more law-abiding, family-friendly environment. This shift is reflected in the menu as well, with new signature dishes that are sure to become fan favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New Signature Dishes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scoville\u2019s Delight<\/strong>: A daring ghost pepper pizza that not only packs a punch with its spice but also delights the eyes with mozzarella balls shaped like little ghosts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.gyazo.com\/62cb912739c82ee8549916711f8c249a.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;width:295px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hawaiian Debate<\/strong>: A playful nod to the age-old argument over pineapple on pizza, this dish is designed to spark conversation and satisfy those who love the sweet and savory combination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.gyazo.com\/a89efb1893444238cace94df6b2f783f.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;width:278px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these new additions, classics like the pepperoni and mushroom pizza and indulgent desserts such as Deep Fried Cheesecake and Vanilla Buzz continue to draw in loyal customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Community-Driven Future<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sofie\u2019s vision for Pizza This extends beyond just food. She\u2019s currently hiring staff, including cooks, clerks, and security, to support the restaurant\u2019s growth. Her sister, Willow Ostanov, and her uncle, Marshal Davis, have been instrumental in driving recent innovations, from designing advertisements to crafting new marketing strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pizza This is also collaborating with Harlow Greene of O\u2019Hana Car Wash for a grand re-opening event that will showcase the Hawaiian Debate pizza. The celebration will take place in the plaza near Pizza This, which Sofie hopes to transform into an event center for the restaurant and other local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Sofie is committed to giving back to the community. She\u2019s working with the Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide monthly food donations to support their efforts. In addition, she\u2019s partnering with Arthur Pendragon of Honeycomb Caf\u00e9 to have two items imported and sold at his caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Safe Haven for All<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, Sofie\u2019s vision for Pizza This is simple yet profound. \u201cI want Pizza This to become a place where people from all walks of life can come and sit down and enjoy each other\u2019s company over pizza and drinks. I want it to be a safe haven for any and all,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With her leadership, Pizza This is set to continue being a cherished spot in San Andreas, offering not just great food, but also a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for the entire community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in working at Pizza This? <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScmLw-kb1bu9Q_x7Hn6rkzN6njzWFxDC3mr_m_ZUhNF0hXE7w\/viewform\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScmLw-kb1bu9Q_x7Hn6rkzN6njzWFxDC3mr_m_ZUhNF0hXE7w\/viewform\">Click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have comments or ideas? <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSeqz9FJUxs8xnB9EyRuaMObrn3NEt_fsQ02YVbGhV-gpsFx6Q\/viewform\">Reach out to them directly!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Andreas has always had a special place for Pizza This, a pizzeria that has served the community with its unique flavors and local charm.
