When Seniore\u2019s Pizza opened in Pacific Beach last September, it was a full circle moment for owners Armin and Liz Eberhard.<\/p>\n

With options including pizza, pasta, burgers and more, Seniore\u2019s Pizza is great for a meal after a late night partying or a long day at the beach.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn PB in particular, people work hard and play hard,\u201d Armin Eberhard said. \u201cWhen they want something good and fresh, but don\u2019t want to cook, our food can fill those cravings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like many couples, the Eberhards met in PB while they both were attending college. They have fond memories of their youthful party days and always stopping to get food afterwards.<\/p>\n

Unlike many couples, they returned to Pacific Beach years later, to continue their dream of living on the beach, opening their own restaurant and leaving a legacy for their grown children.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did a lot of looking to find a good location,\u201d Armin Eberhard said. \u201cWe kept going back to PB \u2014 it\u2019s a beach town, a tourist town, a family town \u2014 and we thought about all the different customers we could have. And, of course, we just wanted to be back by the beach.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple had ties to Southern California even before their college days. Armin grew up in Oceanside and Carlsbad, while Liz grew up in Los Angeles, and they both had families in the area.<\/p>\n

They met while attending the University of San Diego in the early \u201890s. After graduating from Hastings Law School, now the University of California College of the Law, Armin found work in Palo Alto.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe moved to Redwood City and lived there for 20 years,\u201d said Liz Eberhard. \u201cBut we always planned to move back to San Diego.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple had three children, now adults between the ages of 18 to 23, and they wanted to make sure they were left with something.<\/p>\n

\u201cArmin did a lot of research and we talked about different kinds of franchises, such as a gym, or a storage facility or even a restaurant,\u201d Liz Eberhard said. \u201cWe decided everybody loves pizza and it will never go out of style.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once they decided on a pizza restaurant, their next decision was to choose a franchise. Since they were living in the Bay Area at the time, they decided to go with a new, local franchise \u2014 Seniore\u2019s Pizza.<\/p>\n

With eight locations around San Francisco, the Pacific Beach location is the only Seniore\u2019s in Southern California.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were new to franchising, and thought it would be a fun, flexible business model and we could be part of creating and building the brand,\u201d Armin Eberhard said.<\/p>\n

Since neither Armin nor Liz have any restaurant experience, part of the appeal of Senior\u2019s was that the menu is set by the franchise, offering help where they felt they needed it the most.<\/p>\n

But in the meantime, the pandemic hit. With their parents getting older and requiring frequent visits to the area and many of their best friends living here, they decided to move back to San Diego.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always thought it would be fun to have a pizza place by the beach, so we opened a pizza place by the beach,\u201d Armin Eberhard said.<\/p>\n

Seniore\u2019s menu offers great pizzas, as well as appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta and desserts. All the food is made to order.<\/p>\n

There are about 20 different pizza options on the menu, all of which can be customized by ingredients and in sizes as small as a single slice to pies ranging from 10 inches to 24 inches.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most popular menu items with our customers is the Tijuana Special pizza,\u201d Liz Eberhard said. \u201cIt has beef pepperoni, Canadian bacon, pineapple and jalape\u00f1os. It\u2019s almost like a spicy Hawaii. People really like the combination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the employees, Armin Eberhard said the Chic O Roni \u2014 a grilled chicken pizza with a white garlic sauce, beef pepperoni and a pesto drizzle on top, is a favorite.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like cold pizza, and go out of my way to reheat this one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

There are well-known options such as Hawaiian, vegetarian, meat lovers and more, but also some unique offerings, including California Chicken with white garlic sauce, grilled chicken, Canadian bacon, tomatoes and feta cheese, and the Salute Vegetarian with mushrooms, onions, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, garlic and spinach.<\/p>\n

The Eberhards said their employees are part of the team and they consider their favorites as important feedback.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur core management team is about four, including both of us, but we can have as many as nine employees seasonally,\u201d Liz Eberhard said. \u201cWe\u2019re all working to provide our customers great food with friendly, professional service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the pasta options, Liz said the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken is a favorite of both customers and employees. The dish combines grilled chicken, mushrooms and garlic in a cream sauce with parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n

Among the appetizers, wings are a definite crowd favorite.<\/p>\n

Diners can order six, 12, 24 or 30 wings, in regular or flavors such as honey mustard, garlic Parmesan, buffalo, barbecue, teriyaki, lemon pepper and panga.<\/p>\n

\u201cPanga is a Peruvian hot sauce; it\u2019s like a buffalo sauce, but more lemony than vinegary,\u201d Armin Eberhard said. \u201cQ\u2019ero Restaurant in Encinitas makes the sauce.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"WingsWings can be ordered in various amounts and with numerous options for sauces, such as these wings seasoned in hot honey sauce. (Courtesy of Seniore\u2019s Pizza)<\/p>\n

Seniore\u2019s Pacific Beach location is not a dine-in, although there are a few tables inside, but focuses instead on take-out, delivery and orders to go.<\/p>\n

Long term, the Eberhards said their goal is to open a couple more Seniore\u2019s locations in Southern California.<\/p>\n
