"The last 4+ years have been full of some of the best times of my life. From the countless catering events serving up to 3000 people, to the sleepless nights trying to make ends meet, I wouldn’t change it for anything. A big thank you to everyone who supported the business, all of my employees, and anyone who helped me out along the way."

The Downers Grove location had been the third for the family-owned business, which still has pizzerias in Riverside and Woodridge.
On March 22, The Glover Team, who owns the property at 440 Ogden Ave., wrote, "While the closure marks the end of one chapter, it won’t remain empty for long. A new pizza restaurant is expected to open in the same location, bringing new energy to the space."
