Turns out that a business plan built around gourmet pizza, no matter
how good the pizza, isn’t the soundest of ideas when the economy tanks

That’s what Liz Bradley found out with her Olive Street Pizzas,

business selling through Williams-Sonoma, Costco, and Bristol Farms, “We
just got spanked by the economy,” Bradley admitted. So she knew she
needed to reinvent her company, and that led her to think, “We’re all
trend-conscious to some extent, so the food truck, a trend for the last
three or four years, seemed to be a good way to go. L.A. invented it, and I’m importing it to Santa Barbara.”
