TOP DOG LOSES THE DOG Berkeley institution Top Dog has changed its tune. Its restaurant on Hearst Avenue, opposite the Cal campus, is now a pizza place called Pizzahhh after the owners decided to “try something a little different” after nearly 40 years of serving sausages. “We decided to change it up and spruce it up,” they write on a sign taped to the door at the restaurant in the Hearst Food Court. The pizza spot will pay homage and link to the past by having four sausages available as toppings. “We know this comes a shock to all the very loyal, long-time customers here at Northside but take take heart, there are still two Top Dog locations nearby,” they conclude. They would be “Southside” at 2534 Durant, and at 2160 Center St. [Hat-tip: Daniel Parks]

CHOLITA LINDA BISTRO Word on the street is that Cholita Linda, which until now has served its Latin American “dressed up” street food treats at farmers markets and the like, is opening a bistro in Temescal. The plan is to take over three stores — S&S Seafood at 4923 Telegraph Ave., a vitamin store and a hair-braiding place — and turn them into a restaurant. Cholita would be one of three foodie newbies coming to this vibrant neighborhood: Indian street food spot Juhu Beach Club, run by Top Chef alum Preeti Mistry is due to open March 1 at 5179 Telegraph Ave. in the old SR24 location; and beer and sausage place The Hog’s Apothecary is coming to 375 40th St. soon. The transformation of this vibrant Oakland neighborhood continues. There’s no word yet on Cholita Linda’s Facebook page, and attempts to reach the business had been unsuccessful at press time, but we’ll keep you posted. … Continue reading »
