@rotuts, I can't tell from your pictures about the total space in that closet, but I want to tell you a story. Moving to current house, there were plenty of those 9" or 11" deep shelves inside cabinets and on the walls of some rooms. Those shelves always get stuffed full of junk which is impossible to move (or organize).
Seems like you have a lot of dead space in the middle of that pantry room. What if you could convert that to useful storage space?
Maybe redesigning that space so you have 24" deep pull-out drawers on some walls? See Shelves That Slide. They have blind corner units and other stuff.
I googled "pantry organizers" and got some more ideas.
