Took a quick look. Seems like this suffers from the chicken/egg social network problem. The more users there are, the better the data/app will be. However, users won't use the app until the data/app returns better results. Example: I put in 92602 (Irvine in OC). Only two pizza stores popped up-both chains (Little Caesars & Round Table) and both >8 mi from the middle of 92602. As a user, this is an immediate turn off because the app isn't helping me find great pizza places. It is only showing me pizza places that I know about-ones that are far from me to boot. I know for a fact that there is a Round Table Pizza that is much closer than the one mapped. To combat this, you might want to load up some data programmatically so that you have a baseline (scraping PizzaHut.com or Dominoes.com would be a start). Users can then add to your base data set as well as vote up ("share") places that already exist.
