So, according to information Lizzy sent me when I wrote her an enquiry about this worrying state of affairs, here is a list of other local spots in the Bay Area that sell Fizzy Lizzy just in case, like me, you start to get withdrawal symptoms...
- 'wich craft
- Delessio
- Lucca Deli
- Market Bar Cafe
- Speedy's New Union Grocery
- Nabilas
- Zarzuela
- Canyon Market
-
- Genova, Napa
- Daniel's Pharmacy
- Sam's Wines & Liquors
- Yali's Cafe, Berkeley
- Mr. Hana
- I.B. Hoagies
- Crema
- Chef's Table
- Tom's Cookies
Lizzy also told me this: "You can special order Fizzy Lizzy even from Whole Foods stores that no longer carry us, though you'd have to order it by the case. Just go to customer service."
Why do I love Fizzy Lizzy so much? Because it's all natural fruit juice and sparkling water with no added sugar. It's the only soda I crave. Plus it's great with Campari! It also contains plenty of pulp ("body", as Fizzy Lizzy themselves explain it), which in my mind places it one notch above its competitors.
I googled all of the links above from a list of stockists Lizzy sent me. I hope they are all correct. Either way - it was an interesting exercise because I have discovered quite a few places I'd never heard of before.
I've never had it but I assume it is similar to Izze which I love. I noticed that your list includes at least two places in my neighborhood so maybe I'll pop out in the next couple of days and give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI've had really good luck with talking to managers at Whole Foods. They've discontinued things I've loved and they've brought them back because people ask them too. It's not always about poor sales. If they get similar sales from another product they might drop something. That store shelf space is hotly competed over. You should ask.
ReplyDeleteYou're like a political advocate for the rights of foods! Hurrah! My tastebuds salute you :)
ReplyDeleteI was at Cheeseboard Pizza in Berkeley yesterday afternoon and Fizzy Lizzy was nowhere to be found!
ReplyDeleteKrizia - thanks for the update - I've striked through it on the list. This was a list from Fizzy Lizzy. Did you ask them? Maybe they are out of stock, stopped stocking it?
ReplyDeletethanks so much for reporting back!
nancy - i have asked - but haven't had luck so far.
ReplyDeleteI love fizzies too. And I really haven't found izze or others to take its place. Most others are too sweet. She's perfected the flavor.
ReplyDeleteah, you've saved enidd's life - all she's found so far is various corn-syrup based concoctions. yeck.
ReplyDeleteI finally had a Fizzy Lizzy last night when I went to Gregoire's in Berkeley. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI have bought it before at The Pasta Shop on 4th street in Berkeley.
