"Things have been beyond hard the last couple years, and I found a buyer for this place and I am selling off the lease and the contents of this amazing shell of a space for practically pennies. Lesson learned. I am extremely proud of occupying this space for the last twelve years and serving the Laurel District and surrounding neighborhoods. It's emotional to say the least."
"Fist of Flour, the casual pizzeria serving wood-fired slices out of its Laurel District shop, announced its permanent closure on Instagram. The restaurant will be open for dinner, cash only, Jan. 15 and Jan. 16, before shuttering for good. This won't be the last of Fist of Flour, however. Whitehead plans to continue making pizzas and still operates a catering business. Fist of Flour was located at 4166 MacArthur Ave. (at Maybelle Ave.) in Oakland."
Fist of Flour, a casual pizzeria in Oakland’s Laurel District serving wood-fired slices, announced permanent closure. Owner James Whitehead said the last couple years were extremely hard, found a buyer, and is selling the lease and contents for very little; the restaurant served the neighborhood for twelve years and will be open for dinner, cash only, on Jan. 15 and Jan. 16 before closing permanently. Whitehead plans to continue making pizzas and continues a catering business. Fist of Flour was at 4166 MacArthur Ave. After 60 years, the Lafayette Taco Bell closed; that location at 3501 Mt. Diablo Blvd. was one of the Bay Area’s remaining Mission-style Taco Bells.
