That’s a shame. Was good for that little strip to have it there.

I never went but based off their menu it seems like they jumped the gun on Cypress Park gentrification. There’s just only so many people in that neighborhood who are gonna spend $40 on a damn pizza

Wanted to check it out. Food looked 🔥. Brutal business.

Never want to hear a biz fails but honestly their pizza was very sub par IMO.

Were they closed for days before this? If not, it’s pretty weird to announce they’ve permanently closed around four hours before they’re supposed to open for the week.

This was one of my families favorite restaurants, so sad about this. We’d go at least once or twice a month for slices. Great food and vibe. Really bummed.

Not shocked at all. The pizza was below mediocre and they weren’t really doing anything exciting to get people to come. Even if I lived in the neighborhood I wouldn’t get any slices.

I’m in the neighborhood. Their pies are $40 bucks which I wouldn’t mind paying but I don’t like their pizza sauce. LOVE Barra Santos tho I will cry if they close been to that place multiple times.

Aww, nuts. I loved this place. Would have slices delivered all the time. Never got a whole pie, as it required a high FICO score and a co-signer…
But such a great place for a slice. It would have worked better in, say, an Atwater Village. But I get it.
I’m surprised, I thought it was very delicious. But yes, prices were nuts

I tried to go many times but parking made it impossible.

Look, they were charging $30 for a CHEESE pizza in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Most of the families living in Cypress Park aren’t in a position to spend $30 on a CHEESE pizza. FLOUR, WATER, TOMATOES, CHEESE. Come on. Honestly, I don’t feel sad about this at all.

Damn, that place was great. I just went last weekend. Contrary to other posts, I don’t think their plain slice was that crazy at $4. Across the street they are selling loose bagels at $3.25 a pop.
Did they say when their last day is?

Huge bummer. Really good pizza.

Living nearby, the prices were just too out of whack to be a solid option and repeat visitor. Regardless, it is always sad to see a local spot go out of business!

I didn’t even try it because the price was to high. Don’t feel sorry for them the guy shouldn’t have been so greedy

Loved this place. Being in the area I must’ve gone 10+ times. If you ever been, you’d know it was on a chic/hip little block in Cypress Park, where people dress up to be seen and to be social. A fun area to hang out in. There will forever be cheap and dull pizza options, this wasn’t that.

Bummer… but, LASORTEDS 5 min away in Chinatown is amazing! They sell by the slice too.

I’m super bummed. A solid, solid place for pizza.
Jesus, charge your phone!
Shame it’s closing. It always seemed busy.
Sorry the hood rocks with Little Caesars 🗣️
Shins was just mentioned briefly on [NYT](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/dining/new-york-pizza-slice.html) yesterday about finding best NY slices nationally, now this.
