Alsu Shamuratova, an immigrant entrepreneur from Kazakhstan, has opened Rizz Pies & Coffee in the U.S., fulfilling her version of the American Dream. Rizz Pies & Coffee, located at 656 E. Hopkins St., transitioned from the former Earth Burger location and emphasizes a healthier, innovative approach to fast food. The menu features items like personal pies with handmade fillings, and a variety of handcrafted teas and smoothies, focusing on organic, non-greasy options. The name "Rizz" reflects a charismatic appeal, aligning with the restaurant's unique and appealing offerings. Additionally, Rizz Pies & Coffee operates alongside Bird Slice, a co-brand that focuses on experimental recipes, particularly aiming to perfect pie and pizza crusts. Shamuratova's vision extends beyond just food, as she plans community events and cooking classes to foster a sense of community and shared learning.
