You know how I lost a lot of work when someone(s) from probably the blue gang did some shit to my server? Well, I’ve finally decided that I am paid to do some work and I guess I’ll resurrect the Pie Hole article that had literally only seen the light of day for an hour or so before it was removed.
I’m afraid most of the others are probably gone, but I will try and get the Month in Review for March and April back as well. Those are a series and when I’m graduated and gone, they will at least recall what was what in this, a crazy 2025.
So anyway, back to the Pie Hole.
New Management – New Deals – New Ways to Stuff Your Pie Hole
The Pie Hole has been through a few iterations. Who here besides perhaps me and a few diehard readers remembers Priya? Perhaps the Romanov’s were more recent and remembered, but even I would struggle to recall what Sofia Vyper looked like or one of the other owners before then. Still, there’s a certain evolution to the Pie Hole through Italian, then onto Priya’s creative approach and finally now back into something that (as you’ll see below) seemed pretty wholesome and had cute staff (always a bonus in Hathian).
Of course, I’d also have to explore the ‘Pineapple War’ history with the new owners as well! That is almost a Hathian legend now… Priya put Pineapple on her Pizzas, but others refused and the Pie Hole became a literal battleground.

Telling me About Their Pie Hole Stuffing Approach
I met with Victor and Vanessa at the Pie Hole and it was a fairly easy discussion. Victor, (pictured below) wasn’t quite the traditional Pizza employee that I expected. Whether it was the large amount of ink or possibly the fact that an open shirt is more Hathian XXX than Hawaiian Pizza he was definitely an interesting character. Vanessa (also pictured below) was a pink haired woman with an accent and a way of talking that implied a quiet sense of self-confidence. Certainly at-home with her staff she had a quick humour and an easy cadence to her speech that probably did make her easy to work with.
The Observer wonders if the two are a couple, because the counter-dynamics certainly showed a little bit of fire that wasn’t just from the pizza over.
Vanessa:“Tha’ hot stud next to me is Victor the manager”
Victor:“Boss Lady you are always so photogenic, I say you get some free publicity.”
The Observer likes couples who work together. It’s just kinda cute. It also makes for puns based on the particular business. You don’t need me to spell out for you the Pie Hole jokes that might happen and the fact there appeared to be a condom dispenser on the wall of such a small shop… heh.
Observer:“Maybe you could tell us why you decided to run this business and perhaps give us a little story? Also… what’s with the condom thing? Pizza and Protection?”
Vanessa:“New is always better and expanding the Pie Hole horizions and possibilities felt the smartest… Deliveries around Hathian was my main goal, and I cant say it’s goin’ bad.. Tho’ our regulars love to pass by and grab a bite in person, instead of enjoying a crispy warm pizza in their homes or workplaces comfort… Besides a tasty meal, the Pie Hole speciality is to provide a peaceful moment of comfort to those who want to take a break of the chaos happening outside. We focus on providing a neutral refugee, and keepin’ our asses out of troubles even they eventually knock on the pizzeria doors unfortunately.”
“I was a simply clerk at the VHS store the ‘Chartbusters’ and to be honest my experience there inspired me so much to get this place. I guess the fact my former boss Caisen welcomed me so well when I arrived to Hathian”

Bonus Points
Although this is not a full food review (as I didn’t have the time or budget) I would like to award the Pie Hole with an extra point for stocking an array of soda so eclectic in nature that they were able to furnish me with Watermelon! Amazing. But back to the condom machine… it had piqued my interest!
Vanessa:“The clients that enter here don’t only fill their belly’s with good and tasty food, my objective was to provide a full package of stimulation so a fist time client can return in search for the same experiences, creating memories and spread the word.. A few unusual decors are a visual trick to satisfy the eyes, while a interesting conversation with staff is enough to fulfil what could had been a silent meal with a more pleasurable time here!”
So there you have it dear reader. New owner. New Manager. Same kinda food. But with better soda and perhaps a better atmosphere (and surely whatever you prefer, better looking staff) than the most recent owners. As to Pineapple Wars / Gate? The new owners would not be drawn on it. Perhaps you, dear reader need to go ask for a Hawaiian and see if you get Pineapple or not…
