Has anyone tried Strongs in Newport or Lawrenceburg?
It’s been a couple years now but I had two different experiences at the Newport location. First time I went it was incredible. I was convinced this was going to be my new favorite pizza spot in the tri county area and I’d get it frequently. Second time it was very average. I started talking to people about and they reported thinking it was average too. Not bad by any means, but way off the mark on my first impression of it. I haven’t had it since, too many other places of good enough quality or better that are closer.Has anyone tried Strongs in Newport or Lawrenceburg?
NYPD on Springdale Rd Italian sub is really really good too!!If you're looking for a smaller local chain, try NYPD pizza in Cheviot or Delhi. Solid pizza at an affordable price.
Beat me to itwelp -
I don’t know of almost ANY restaurant that’s back to their pre-pandemic standard. Not sure why PH chili would be any different.Hate to lose Trotta's. And as announced Sebastian's will be closing or is closed. I have not passed by their recently. 2 i and good food options on the west side ending.
On another note has anyone been to Price Hill Chili recently. I stopped going about 4 months ago. After about 5 takes outs with sub standard food and poor customer service I took a break.
I was hoping they get back to their high standard as a staple on the west side.
The quality of the food at all Larosas has gone downhill the last few years imo. With many other options now available, I believe Larosas Pizza is the worst of the bunch.
Most here agree that there are better chain pizza joints but do you now agree that LaRosas is certainly not the “worst of the bunch”?No sir. Marcos,Jets and last but not least Trottas have way better pizza!

You’re certainly entitled to your opinion.No, imo Larosas is the worst of the bunch.
Agreed. Buddy is an awesome guy and a pillar of the community, but the pizza is terrible now.Honestly I do think LaRosa's is the worst. Now I still get it at times because I always have at least 2 Buddy cards and I respect the hell out of Buddy and his fundraising and donations to local high school sports.
At that price, looks to me like the listing is to buy the business and the structure, so I would assume a new operator would get all of the recipes, ovens, etc. I guess if no one wants the business, someone could buy the structure and tear it down for something else.Beat me to it
Hopefully the place doesn't get bulldozed for a gas station or mattress store.
The listing on LoopNet says it include "All Licenses, furniture, fixtures and equipment" and "Includes an event and festival trailer valued at $90,000."At that price, looks to me like the listing is to buy the business and the structure, so I would assume a new operator would get all of the recipes, ovens, etc. I guess if no one wants the business, someone could buy the structure and tear it down for something else.
Even with that, I would guess someone would be willing to buy the Trotta's recipes to continue it elsewhere. It's popular pizza where someone could make some money.

Officials from Trotta's were unavailable to comment Monday, referring all questions to their real estate agent, Rick Louallen. Louallen, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty, said Trotta's owner decided to sell in order to retire and the business remains profitable. Interest in the space, Louallen said, is high with six to 10 viable buyers waiting on more financial information in order to look at a deal.
OK. I respect your opinion and understand your issues with LaRosas but if a LaRosas meat lovers was sitting on a table next to a Dominos and a Little Caesar’s I can’t imagine not picking LaRosas. Peace brother.No, imo Larosas is the worst of the bunch.
I don’t know if they went out of business before, many years ago they were located on Queen City at Lafeuille. I assume they just moved to the Werk Rd location but I don’t know for sure.Didn't Trotta's go out of biz once before then come back?
I will agree that LaRosas Meat Lover pizza is by far the better option here.OK. I respect your opinion and understand your issues with LaRosas but if a LaRosas meat lovers was sitting on a table next to a Dominos and a Little Caesar’s I can’t imagine not picking LaRosas. Peace brother.
Still is!!Getting a lotta trotta at someone's birthday or a sleepover was considered an amazing thing amongst my friends.

Sadly, as long as interest rates and inflation continue to rise, landlords know their renters are stuck, so they raise rents.This is worrisome:
'They want to make everybody a renter': How real estate investors are changing Cincinnati

Investors are snapping up single-family homes nationwide, converting them to rentals and transforming neighborhoods like Cincinnati's West Price Hill.www.cincinnati.com
Of course these “investors” are targeting West Price Hill. And when the returns fall below what these “investors” expect they will just let these properties rot without putting a cent into them. I think this is starting to happen in Delhi too.
Very true and very sad. The firms especially are outbidding most buyers with cash. I cant say I blame sellers, but this is going to get worse if we see a bubble burst like in 08.Sadly, as long as interest rates and inflation continue to rise, landlords know their renters are stuck, so they raise rents.
There are a ton of stories all over the country where equity firms and wealthy individuals are buying up a ton of single family homes to do the same thing. It's happening everywhere.
Similar to Bill Gates just continuing to scoop up farmland across the country.
There are some similarities to ‘08 for sure. ‘08 was caused by lending large sums of money to people who couldn’t pay and the loans were not backed by assets that could cover the loan. Then they packaged those loans and sold them to investors that didn’t do their homework and got badly burned. This could be similar if these investors are over paying for and/or over improving their rental properties to the point the rental market can no longer support the investment. Like ‘08 these things will be packaged and sold off, this time in REITs. This time evictions will send the signals that foreclosures sent in ‘08. It could get really ugly.Very true and very sad.

And I do understand your point about overpaying for houses but to my knowledge lending standard weren’t compromised to accommodate housing sales, the lower interest rates allowed for the higher prices to be affordable to more borrowers. We will have to wait and see how deep this recession goes, these things all tend to feed off each other. With a presidential election coming you can bet the Democrats will do everything they can to reverse the recession (in reality they could make things worse with some of their proposed policies).I agree with everything you said.
My point that I didn't clearly articulate is if we have crazy amounts of foreclosures like in 08 (which I think we will, too many people WAY overpaid for homes), the corporations will swoop in and gobble them all up before traditional homeowners can get them. This will make even more people rent-dependent in urban metro areas.
