Wheat at all time high! Despite calls from some domestic segments to impose direct or indirect limits on wheat exports, the U.S. government has consistently maintained an open market policy and continues to stress that the U.S. will remain the most reliable supplier of wheat to domestic and export markets. CLOSE OUR MARKETS NOW! We accepted the price increase on Dairy (Pizza Cheese Doubled in November, 2007. We accepted the price increase on Vegetables (Alternative Fuels and Bad Crops Doubled Costs)Thats alright we are strong. But now we will not accept this price increase on Wheat where we have enough Wheat grown by USA farmers to supply the consumer in the entire USA if we would not export! Lets face it Wheat goes into Beer among alot of other things. What is wrong with this: 50lb bag Flour last week each $12.00 to $50.00 for the same 50 lb bag. Stop the caos! The dollar is at an all time low, Gas at all time high, and now food at all time high. Help! My Husband and I should not be in this situation WE DON\'T WANT TO CLOSE PIZZABELLA!!! IT IS THE AMERICAN DREAM THAT THE GOVERMNENT IS TRYING TO TAKE FROM US IN THE NAME OF WHEAT! WE NEED TO ALL STAND UP TOGETHER FOR THEM TO PROTECT OUR MARKETS SO WE CAN KEEP OUR SMALL BUSINESSES ALIVE. SMALL BUSINESSES PROVIDE 90% OF THE JOBS TO AMERICANS. WE HAVE MOTHERS, FATHERS, BROTHERS AND SISTERS WORKING AT PIZZABELLA IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. OUR CUSTOMERS TELL US ON A DAILY BASIS PLEASE BE STRONG WE NEED YOU IN BUSINESS YOUR FOOD IS THE BEST. WE HAVE SHOWN A VERY STRONG INCREASE IN GROWTH IN 3 YEARS. INFLATION IS RIPPING IT OUT OF OUR BOTTOM DOLLAR, UNBELIEVABLY REAL. CUT BACKS AND LAYOFFS ARE HERE OVERNIGHT, HELP US BEAT OUR FIGHT. CLOSE OUR MARKETS ON WHEAT AND PROTECT THE HEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES! WE ARE NOT THE BIG GUY THAT CAN ABSORB COST BUT WE ARE IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY. www.mypizzabella.com

The feedback from our customers has been overwhelming as they share their own experiences with rising costs. I am currently reaching out to local representatives to ensure they understand the severe impact these wheat prices are having on our daily operations. We remain committed to keeping our doors open despite these significant financial challenges.

The response to the current crisis facing Pizzabella has been truly significant. Your collective engagement confirms that the struggle for fair market conditions resonates with many other small business owners across the nation.

Ridiculous price hikes. how are small shops supposed to make it when costs jump 400 percent in a week? this is crazy.

Pizzabella is a landmark in SA. They have the best crust in town. If they go under because of wheat prices then local business is truly dead.

KEEP PIZZABELLA OPEN. Stop exporting our wheat and feed our own people first.
