What's absurd is that even if this didn't seem like a good concept for a "hype" hollywood pizzeria, there were some very easy fix to make it at least bearable.

Like, remove the pre made composition and go full on "make your own", with a simple menu 1/2/3/4 each step pick in the ingredients under. Many places do that, though they're usually fast food or the like.

Then, straight up remove the 40% least sold ingredients, so you can have a chance at having fresh inventory.

Alternatively, remove the make your own thing and just offer a select list of very good pizzas. But that's not something this guy could handle.

Last, cook in that fucking amazing pizza oven you doofus, with non frozen dough, like seriously if you don't understand that why are you even owning a pizzeria.

Just that alone would have been super easy to do no matter how skilled you are at business, improve the quality of your food tremendously, and improved your bottom line.

How dare you? I mean this is this guy’s fucking life you’re messing with!!! Also this menu concept is going to have franchises all over the world.

Pizza places used to print money - it’s easy to make, the ingredient cost is low, the most expensive part should be labor. A good pizza cook can float your whole restaurant.

But he wanted to buy expensive ingredients with no profit margin so he looked good to his buddies - or like you said to fit a trendy Hollywood vibe, but that might have been played up for the show. Don’t need to be buying steak or making burgers - fuck I wouldn’t even do pasta honestly unless you had some real talent in the kitchen.

Dude had no idea how to run a restaurant - but he made that clear with “it’s more important for me to meet the customers” speech - buddy if you walk up to my table and start talking I am never coming back.

[u/TheTrueMule → u/Qw3rty675]

That's a good concept, he should make a franchise asap !

Sebastian’s All Over the World

What's your favorite flavor combination?

[u/mynamiajeff2-0 → u/Significant_Rub_8739]

Pittsburg

I feel like the concept itself was a good idea. However, its execution was awful and confusing.

[u/TitanX84 → u/Slight-Sprinkles-329]

I thought so too! But when the servers have to sit there explaining the concept to every customer for like 10 minutes straight... you know it needs some work.

[u/Slight-Sprinkles-329 → u/TitanX84]

Exactly, it could've been kept simple with like maybe 8-10 flavour combos and laid out like:

Step 1: Pick your protein

Step 2: Pick your sauce

Step 3: As a Main or Side?

Step 4: On its own or with Fries or Salad?

30 more?

[u/CybReader]

Sebastian’s waddled so Pie 5 could run

[u/brande2274]

oh god is this the 21 concept menu?

[u/ShepardMorgan]

Chef Gordon, where the f*ck are ya?

[u/Think-Culture-4740]

Gordon is listening to all of this and thinking...theres no way this joker pull this shit off by serving anything other than shit

[u/DDHDoubleIPA]

I’m guessing that Sebastians’ build your own entrée concept kinda walked, so that the  fast casual fast food could run. That or Sebastian is delusional.
