Pyramid Pizza reopens looks to keep customers

The photographs displayed on the walls at Pyramid Pizza show its pizza boxes in locations all across the world — at the Golden Gate Bridge, on top of the Continental Divide. But for about two decades, KU students have associated Pyramid Pizza with one location in particular — underneath The Wheel Cafe, 507 W.14th St.
"We were out playing basketball, and we walked up to get a slice and Pyramid was gone," Moore said.
Whether catching a bite to eat on the way home from classes or grabbing a late-night slice after an evening at one of the neighborhood bars, generations of students knew where to find a familiar piece of pie.
In May, Mark and Kathy Dodson, owners of Pyramid Pizza, began moving to their new location at 701 W. Ninth St. after Rob Farha, owner of The Wheel, decided not to renew their lease so that he could own his own pizza business.
Tip Moore, Wichita sophomore, lives just down the block from The Wheel at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house and said he was surprised and disappointed to discover Pyramid was gone.
"It was one of the most difficult decisions I've made since I took over here," Faraha said.
Now campus pizza fans will find a new face at the old Pyramid location and a fresh face for Pyramid at a new location.
Farha, who is in his third year as owner of the Wheel, said that it was hard to make the Dodons move because they were good tenants and had been owners of Pyramid for only about a year. It was
purely a business decision, Farha said.
"The bar business is a lot tougher than when I used to work here," Farha said. "I wanted to diversify and find a way to create another source of income."
Mark Dodson said that though they had not wanted to move, he did not feel they were treated unfairly by Farha.
The inevitable comparisons to Pyramid's pizza are something that Farha knows he will have to face, and he said he realized some Pyramid fans might be put out by the move.
"There's been upset students; there's been students who don't care," Farha said. "It's something I'm prepared to go through."
Moore said that Pyramid definitely would be missed.
"We're anxious to see what The Wheel has to offer, but we're going to miss Pyramid," he said.
As for Pyramid's new place, the Dodons said they were happy with both the location and the building.
"We wanted to stay close to campus because 80 percent of our business is students," Mark Dodson said.
Mark Dodson said that walk-up traffic was good at the new location and that the only real loss for Pyramid was football game-day business.
Kathy Dodson said that the new location had several advantages such as dine-in seating and air-conditioning. She said she and her husband felt a special bond with the new place because they did much of the work on it themselves.
Both places will provide students with a cure for late-night munchies. The Wheel Pizza Co. will stay open until 2:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and Pyramid stays open until 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
