The Cheese Board just kills. Lines around the block. I'd like to think that their lazer-focus for their product (one type of pizza a day), is aligned with their great success.
- wutbrodo 11y agoIt's a big part of the appeal. It's hard to get fresh out of the oven pizza in thirty seconds anywhere else.
- VonGuard 11y agoTheir actual cheese store is a thing of beauty, too. You are not allowed to buy any cheese without tasting: they shove little bites at you as you ask questions. Americans don't love cheese enough. There should be one of these on every corner, like Arizmendi, but with more cheese!
- hn9780470248775 11y agoThe Cheese Board has reproduced... in the form of Arizmendi Bakery: "Forty years ago, Berkeley's now-famous cooperative, the Cheeseboard, opened its doors. In 1997, inspired by their own success, they helped open another bakery based on cooperative principles. Arizmendi Oakland debuted that year on Lakeshore Avenue, named after the Basque labor organizer.  The endeavor was a hit, so what next? They decided to open another bakery, this time in San Francisco. Once again the group, along with members of the Oakland store, graciously imparted their knowledge of cooperative business practices and shared secrets of their recipes. In October of 2000, Arizmendi Bakery San Francisco was born. The Cheeseboard's gift to us has become our gift to the neighborhood." http://www.arizmendibakery.com/about http://www.arizmendibakery.com/about
- wutbrodo 11y agoAh yea, I love Arizmendi but I don't go there as often as I used to Cheeseboard, probably because SF has many more alternatives than Berkeley did.
