Description
Mall Quality fast food pizza is coming to Las Olas. PizzaRev is taking over the old Hot Tomatoes space. Out with the bad and in with pizzas made by minimum wage kids. We can also expect an infusion of minimum wage workers, furthering the high class image of Las Olas.

Dunkin Donuts franchisee Christopher Mellgren is expanding his expertise to Pizza. A Dunkin Donuts would have been a better fit for this location.
This place appears to be the same as Blaze, Pieology and FlashFire. A bunch of people all with the same bad idea. You wonder if these people know they'll be doing lunch 5 days a week at this location? Or will the sequined YOLO/VIBE crowd opt for $8 pizzas for dinner before their $15 drinks?

I'm moving this to Dead Projects; The franchisor no longer has Florida (or this location) listed on their Coming Soon map. It was there a year ago, so it appears this guy has given up.

The coming soon sign is down too.

Time for an update. They appear to be getting close. Gas is in. Hood is in. They have opaque covering on the windows so you can't see in. They still have the Hot Tomatos signage up.

Is this still happening?

The correct question is: Who Cares?

Indeed it is. Just got their Nat Gas line permit on 8/2. They changed contractors in November. Some poor franchisee is going to get soaked. The franchise page says it costs from 500-900K to open one of these. A fast food pizza franchise business will never be worth $500K. Even if they're killing it, someone could open a real pizzeria next door for < $200k and put them out of business in 2 months.

So depressing. Can't even get a real pizzeria. And that Beehive bowl place is coming too. I'm actually missing Quiznos.
