Friend’s Pizza Closed…Or Is It?

We spotted a cardboard sign taped to the gate of Friend’s Pizza (487 7th Avenue, between Windsor Place and Prospect Avenue) on Thursday afternoon.

The message explains that they will not be open, and that they will miss us, but also mentions that they’ll be back on January 9th. So what’s the story? Renovation? Change of ownership? An unavoidable downward spiral into restaurant oblivion?

The website and telephone are both still online, but when we attempted to ring the restaurant, there was no answer. We posted back in September that the business was for sale, so we’re a bit concerned that this may be the end of Friend’s.

We’ll keep an eye on it, though, and update you when we come across any new information.
