A slice of Milano – The Spontini story began in 1953 when the small family business started to sell its pizza by the slice in Milan. It soon became popular and known for its unique style: soft and fluffy on top, with a surprisingly crispy and crusty base. We only use the finest ingredients from Italy like our special mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and flour… that’s why Spontini pizza tastes so good that even the Italians in the land of pizza line up for it. Spontini offers a wide array of perfectly crafted pizzas, from its classic Margherita, Turkey Ham & Mushroom, Veal Salami and its signature Spontini 1953.

Alshaya Closing Down Some Restaurants

Over the weekend I was in Avenues for work (the mall is closed FYI) so I decided to walk around and see if it was true that Alshaya was closing down some of its restaurants. Inspired Edibles had posted a list on Instagram of the brands that were closing which included: 400 Gradi Alforno Blaze Pizza Bridge Water Chocolate Cafe COCO Castania Cleo Le Pain Quotidien P.F. Chang’s (Phase 1) Spontini Pizza Veranda Turns out it’s partially true. Other than Blaze Pizza and P.F. Chang’s, all the restaurants listed above had been closed down with their logos removed and the storefronts boarded up. I guess the two I’m gonna miss the most are Alforno and Spontini. When Alforno first opened I used to go there a lot with my family, and Spontini, well I kinda liked their pizzas even though I know a lot didn’t. But, if a giant like Alshaya has difficulty sustaining a restaurant during this difficult period in a mall they basically own, you can only imagine how other smaller businesses must be doing.
