"Rose City Pizza in Rosemead shuttered on May 26 due to a 40 percent rent increase. Owner Brian Nittayo tells Eater that a 40 percent rent increase and the landlord’s unwillingness to negotiate caused the closure. Rose City Pizza gained a loyal following for its inventive menu of New York- and Detroit-style pies, family-friendly atmosphere, monthly local artist showcase, and periodic pop-up collaborations. The family-owned pizzeria continues to operate a location in Covina, which opened in 2021." - Eric Valle
