What happened after Food Paradise?

The "Wild & Wacky" episode featured Pizza Brain's pizza menu alongside its attached pizza-memorabilia museum, which Guinness World Records recognized as the largest collection of pizza-related items on public display, filled with vintage boxes, toys and other pizza-branded ephemera collected by the owners over years of hunting flea markets and thrift stores. The pizzeria opened in 2012 in Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood at 990 Spring Garden St, sharing its building with Little Baby's Ice Cream. The business's own website, pizzabrain.org, returned an HTTP 404 error when checked on 2026-09-08, and a Google Places listing checked the same day shows the business's status as permanently closed, according to Google. Both checks were run the same day, giving two independent, same-day looks at the address rather than relying on one stale page.
