Quiz-NO

Quizno's - on the cursed corner of death by the Desert Foothills / Chandler road Safeway intersection has gone to the ovens. I went there once since it was opened, and they seemed nice enough, but no promotion and a Subway 52 feet away probably did them in. Also - let's not forget the stank on that corner - where every restaurant is one of two things - dead, or dying.

This is the beginning of the end for Ahwatukee.

The lady that cuts my hair said she was moving to another salon because there was no place left to get lunch on that end of Chandler, and business was dropping off. When you can't sell $10 haircuts the bell is ringing for you.

Quizno's - we hardly knew ya. Ahwatukee - ditto...

Coal Burger

Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead! It would seem that not even green environmentally friendly tables (Im not kidding!) could save this one. This leaves Ahwatukee with less then 34 burger places to choose from.....

El Macaroni is gone. The bony hand of death reached out.....

Romano's Macaroni Grill closed Oct. 24 after 14 years in Ahwatukee Foothills.

"Our lease expired and we decided not to renew this particular location," the company said in a post on their corporate Facebook page. "While it is always a tough decision to close a restaurant, we have offered transfer opportunities to our team members from the Ahwatukee location and hope that you'll come see them at our other Phoenix-area locations."

The closure of Macaroni Grill leaves On The Border as the only remaining restaurant at the corner of Ray Road and 50th Street. Rock Bottom Brewery closed in June.
