Besta Pizza not licensed/listed in searchable DC business license database, but Comet Pizza is. Anyone know why? (pizzagate)

submitted ago by MR_CHNYD

I hadn't updated myself on PizzaGate details in a couple months so I was reading through the fully sourced thread that's stickied and followed along checking sources. I was on Besta Pizza's current website where they say: "We pride ourselves (After 22 years in business) in providing a menu that’s prepared with only the freshest ingredients." so I decided to check and see if they were really registered as a business that long. There may be a simple explanation that I am just unaware of because this is way too obvious, but when you go to the DC business license database here: https://eservices.dcra.dc.gov/BBLV/Default.aspx and search "comet pizza" it comes up fine...yet 3 doors down "besta pizza" has no record I can find? You can try by address too. Even if it was just developed a couple years ago wouldn't they still need to be registered in DC? I decided to check the Maryland business license database next, here: https://jportal.mdcourts.gov/license/pbPublicSearch.jsp but neither is licensed there. Different jurisdiction?

Look at Besta Pizza's first yelp review (4.0 star rating 7/15/2006 https://www.yelp.com/biz/besta-pizza-washington?sort_by=date_asc)). It's by this dude "Nelson Abramson". He lists a blog on his yelp profile (http://neltor.blogspot.com/2006/07/i-might-as-well.html)). His first blog post was created on 7/18/2006 (3 days after Besta Pizza's first Yelp review of his) which read:

The reasons why I haven't had a blog before:
I have no attention span
I don't see a huge reason to have a blog
I prefer to hear myself speak, rather than type
Who would read it anyway?

But hey. I'm a member of the information super society. 1337 4ever.

But hey. I'm a member of the information super society. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? We all say retarded/creative shit but really? So many weird details the further you look...maybe it's nothing, but it's an odd statement at an odd time with an odd pizza business that is apparently (now) unlicensed.
