Wendy's at Pitt on Fifth Ave in Oakland has closed!
What used to be a Wendy’s on the corner Fifth Avenue and Atwood Street is now a huge empty space in Pitt’s campus (and heart). The doors closed in February and local fast food lovers where heartbroken when they found out the last day to get a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger and Frosty was Valentine’s Day.
There was a time when the spacious burger joint was one of the busiest places in Oakland to grab a meal during lunchtime. College students, doctors, and high-school kids skipping class filled the seats of this Wendy’s every day. Now there’s one less place to grab a bite around Pitt – but maybe it’s not so bad after-all. A great reason to eat a little healthier and support the local businesses like Pizza Sola, Oishii Bento, Red Oak Cafe, Dave & Andy’s, Sweet Berry, Fuel & Fuddle, Joe Mama’s, etc… But don’t forget, it is Oakland so don’t eat just anywhere!
What should open up in this space next?
Breaking hearts... literally?
That was were everyone would sit to eat while waiting for the bus

Good riddens!
this should be mr 2 nite night club.
Thanks for mentioning Pizza Sola as a FRESH alternative to the fast food places that don’t provide the variety and homemade quality that we do!
Pizza Sola is pretty good. Probably the best pizza in Oakland at least. Not better than Mineos IMHO.
