Starbucks wants slice of the pizza business

I love Starbucks. They’re a great company to work for, and I think they’ve done an amazing job reading the economic tea-leaves and living ahead of the curve.

As for this, though. Not sure I agree this is the best move. Lots of pizza businesses out there. Can Starbucks really offer a unique take on pizza? I’m just not sold.

What do you think?
