Did it bite the dust or is it still in limbo?

Gone.

And as long as we're talking about good pizza places in BR that are now closed, you can add Souga (the old Oscar's) to the list. That one is a shame. They had some really good pizza.

That really is. Went after they changed the name and it didn't seem as good. Maybe it was just me though, probably the same recipes.

Not surprised at all that it is gone.

Speaking of other pizza places. How's Roma Pizza now that Omar isn't there anymore?

I am really concerned about Kim. This can't be good for his OCD.

That's even weirder. I tried to go yesterday. There's a sign on the door that says they were closed from June 30th thru July 6th. Door was locked and lights were off. Texted the owner, and 30 minutes later he texted back that they were closed for good.

That's a damn shame to hear. Was one of my favorite places when I lived down there.

Something is going on at Souga. They're building an outdoor patio area it looks like. Not sure if Souga is closed for good or not, but SOMEBODY is working on the place...

ouga Pizza Factory, which opened less than four months ago in the space at 6251 Perkins Road formerly occupied by Oscar’s Pizza and Ice Cream, has closed.

Owner Trey Matassa, who built his career in the litigation support business and had no prior restaurant experience, says he did not anticipate the slow summer season and did not have the capital to keep up operations. Plans for the space are unknown at this time.

Landlord John Kilpatrick, who developed the shopping center in which the restaurant was located, says he has not yet been officially notified by Matassa that Souga is vacating the space, so he’s not even sure when the restaurant will be moving out.

Matassa and his fiancee Holly Hatzis acquired Oscar’s and its recipes in February from Nino’s Chef Elton Hyndman, who operated the pizzeria as well as his signature restaurant on Bluebonnet Boulevard for nearly four years. Matassa and Hatzis are the third ownership group to languish in the space, which is adjacent to Urban Nine, a skateboard store, and Fleet Feet. Kilpatrick and his brother were the original owners of Oscar’s, opening it when they built the shopping center in 2008.


Exactly what he told me yesterday.

Dang, was the recent. I really liked that place.

I wonder what they will open there.

Curious to know who all the new construction is for now. If you drive past Souga you can see the new area.

Why isn't there a single wood-fired oven pizza place in BR? I'm sick of conveyor belt pizza and dominos.

I did actually like Oscars. And it was not the same when Souga opened - still unfortunate to hear it closed though.
