Bobby G’s Pizzeria (temporary)
A former employee of the 20-year-old pie shop in Berkeley has filed a $180,000 lawsuit against the restaurant. The pizza spot seems to be closed, at least temporarily, and its website is also set to private. A recent visit by Nosh during regular opening hours found the “open” sign illuminated but the restaurant completely locked up. Bobby G’s Pizzeria, 2072 University Ave., Berkeley
The Honey Baked Ham Company
Redditors shared that The Honey Baked Ham shop on Piedmont Avenue has closed, with a sign on the door that says “this location has closed.” It is also no longer listed on the national company’s website. The store was a favorite for holiday gatherings for the ham and turkey; they also served sandwiches. The Honey Baked Ham Company, 4364 Piedmont Ave., Oakland
Hummus Republic
East Bay Nosh received a tip that Hummus Republic in Alameda has closed. The national website no longer lists this location, and Yelpers have also reported that it closed. The chain shop serves customizable bowls, wraps, sandwiches, pita, and fries. Hummus Republic, 2402 Central Ave., Alameda.
