Local pizzarias Bella Italia and
Pizza Pino are closing after years of
serving Ann Arbor residents.
Bella Italia, owned by Jim and
Katie Millan, recently announced
on their Facebook page that they
would be ending their business on
Sept. 23. The restaurant was opened
11 years ago on 895 Eisenhower
Parkway. The post received
multiple supportive messages
and representatives from the
restaurant replied thanking them
but expressing that they wanted
to make a change. The Millans
emphasized that while they loved
running the restaurant, it required a
lot of time and energy.
“My husband Jim and I owned
Bella for eleven years. We have a
seven year old daughter, and we
decided we needed to spend more
time together as a family,” Katie
Millan wrote in an email. “We
would like to thank the community
for all their support over the years;
it really was a great adventure for
Jim and I.”
Bella Italia is best known for
its “Ann Arbor Pizza Challenge,”
promising a free 30-inch pizza to
any group of three people who can
finish the dish within 30 minutes.
Rules stipulate that the pizza must
be finished and in the players’
stomachs.
Pizza Pino shut down
without warning, the exact date
unknown but was reported by
MLive this morning, with a note
reading “closed” popping up on
the front door of the Ann Arbor
establishment at 221 W Liberty
St. Calls to the restaurant went
unanswered and its social media
pages remain silent, leaving
residents wondering if the
restaurant is closed for good. The
joint is not facing any suspensions
related to safety or health concerns,
and its LLC license is still active.
Pizza Pino was known for its
deep-dish pizzas and variety of
specialty choices.

ON THE DAILY: NO MORE DOUGH
people that live in poorer areas,
people that live close to rivers.”
According
to
Fossas,
his
family and some close friends
have all congregated in his
home as a temporary solution
to the long-term process of
restabilization. It has been said
regaining electricity throughout
the country may take up to six
months.
Fossas has not asked for any
extra support in the form of
classes off, but he said that he
has no doubt the University of
Michigan
community
would
provide support in such an
instance.
“People
here
are
very
understanding. A friend of mine,
a fellow Puerto Rican, has been
reached out to by professors who
asked him if he needs help,” he
said. “Students have been really
helpful too, anyone who knows
that I’m from Puerto Rico has
asked me if my family is OK, if
everything is good.”
Fossas
expressed
his
frustration with the lack of
representation of Puerto Rico
in U.S. politics as well as media
coverage, claiming they are
stuck in a political and economic
middle-ground, and are not
treated equally as citizens.
“‘We belong to the U.S., but
we are not part of the U.S.’ …
that’s a rough translation of a
quote I’ve heard,” he said. “It
basically means that, yeah, if you
say Puerto Rico, some people
know it’s part of the U.S. and
some people don’t … and some
people don’t even recognize us
as legitimate Americans.”
According
to
Fossas,
the
main challenge Puerto Ricans
must face to gain support is
the lack of representation in
media outlets. He compared the
nearly 24-hour news coverage
of Hurricane Harvey to the
far lesser coverage of Maria in
Puerto Rico.
“Trump supposedly declared
us in a state of emergency, but
nothing has been done yet,”
he said. “We’re barely getting
any federal aid. He tweeted a
couple times, but how many
tweets about football players
and Kaepernick and Curry?
It’s all been about that; it’s so
frustrating. That is something
so inconsequential, while there’s
3.5 million American citizens
suffering back in Puerto Rico.”
Students at the University
have
gathered
together
in
various ways to fundraise for
Puerto Rico and provide support
to the Puerto Rican student
population.
Engineering
freshman
Natalia Sanchez is a Puerto
Rican
student
who
began
her
own
initiative.
After
hearing the devastating news
about
the
hurricane,
she
began to brainstorm ideas for
fundraising, and found one
that stuck: selling T-shirts. Her
project raised $1,000 in the first
four days, and she has gained
support from the directors of
her living-learning community,
the
Michigan
Community
Scholars Program.
“I’m honestly just glad that
what I’m doing is having a
positive outcome,” she said.
“I’m pretty sure that you can
ask any other Puerto Rican who
isn’t living in the island right
now how they’re feeling, and
they’ll tell you that it’s just so
distressing. That it just doesn’t
feel real. That, no matter what,
they’ll do anything to help.”
On a national level, the
GoFundMe
Students
with
Puerto Rico has been created,
which is bringing together the
fundraising efforts of more
than 100 universities around
the United States, including
the University of Michigan.
The proceeds are to go directly
to Unidos por Puerto Rico, an
initiative enacted by Puerto
Rico’s
first
lady,
Beatriz
Roselló,
in
collaboration
with private companies. It
was initially proposed after
Hurricane
Irma
and
has
expanded
after
Hurricane
Maria’s occurrence.
LSA
senior
Amanda
Santiago has extended family
living in Puerto Rico, and
has extended family living in
Puerto Rico. Though she was
able to contact them two days
ago, she is still worried for
other students’ families.
“A lot of my friends still don’t
have family members that
they’ve heard from,” she said.
