Bobby G\u2019s Pizzeria (temporary)<\/p>\n

A former employee of the 20-year-old pie shop in Berkeley has filed a $180,000 lawsuit<\/a> 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 \u201copen\u201d sign illuminated but the restaurant completely locked up. Bobby G\u2019s Pizzeria, 2072 University Ave., Berkeley<\/p>\n

The Honey Baked Ham Company<\/p>\n

Redditors<\/a> shared that The Honey Baked Ham shop on Piedmont Avenue has closed, with a sign on the door that says \u201cthis location has closed.\u201d It is also no longer listed on the national company\u2019s website<\/a>. The store was a favorite for holiday gatherings for the ham and turkey; they also served sandwiches. The Honey Baked Ham Company<\/a>, 4364 Piedmont Ave., Oakland<\/p>\n
