The Pie Hole, Marc Bynum's Farmingdale Pizzeria, Closes

FARMINGDALE, NY — The Pie Hole of Farmingdale closed its 850b Main Street digs, chef Marc Bynum announced on Instagram.

Bynum encouraged people to stay tuned for "Pie Hole Pop Ups."

"Sometimes you have to close the door before God opens the new one," Bynum wrote on Instagram. "Put the weight down. So you can rise. We got something brewing."

The Pie Hole, a pizzeria, opened in fall 2022. Bynum's pizzeria infused the Italian delicacy with a music theme, naming various pies after artists.

The three-time "Chopped" champion sold what he called a "different take on a pizza." He offered slices of jerk chicken, oxtail, birria, or short rib.

"We're going to take a step back and re-do some things," Bynum said in a video posted to his Instagram. "It's not a fail. It's never a fail. It's just a moving forward, and this is what we need to do to move forward. Thank you for your support, Farmingdale. Thank you for your support, everybody. And we'll be back real soon. Very soon."

The chef still offers catering services through his website, Marc Bynum Concepts.

The Pie Hole's first pop-up is scheduled for Thursday at Music on Main in Farmingdale Village. Bynum will be teaming up with owner Manny Coelho at Lithology Brewing Company for a craft beer and personal pizza event.
