On-campus spots serving pizza and dinner for breakfast are off the menu for Kennesaw State University students.
The Village Skillet at the Kennesaw campus and Papa John's at the Marietta campus closed after the spring semester, according to Jenifer Duggan, director of KSU's Culinary & Hospitality Services.
When asked why the locations were closed, Duggan said over email: "Low demand by students."
Yes, you read that right: College students didn't buy enough pizza nor breakfast foods to keep on-campus restaurants afloat.
The Papa John's opened in February 2015 and The Village Skillet in August 2015.

"We anticipate that the other dining offerings will be positively affected by the changes, as business will be redistributed to the locations that are open," Duggan wrote.
There are no plans to replace those locations, according to her.
Duggan's agency — tasked with feeding more than 33,000 students — has lost top members of its leadership during the past couple months.
Then again, the whole school is in flux.
University System of Georgia auditors created a special report on Randall Shelton, former head of the Auxiliary Services and Programs, and found he hired his family and friends, interfered with dining vendors bidding, consulted for one of the school's current vendors and traveled to conferences for that vendor but charged the school.
According to previous coverage by the AJC, one of the complaints against Shelton allege his actions cost the university more than $430,000.
Those audits preceeded the firings of four high-level school employees and the sudden resignation of decade-long president Dan Papp.
