The Feed: Iconic Bloomington Pizza Shop Shutters
That sound you’re hearing is every IU alums’ group chat exploding. Cafe Pizzaria, a Bloomington pie and breadstick staple, abruptly closed on Wednesday, to the dismay of generations of IU students and area locals. The shop at 405 E. Kirkwood Ave. was in business for over 70 years, even as glossy high-rises and chain businesses crowded onto the iconic college town’s street. In a message posted this week to the restaurant’s website and social media, its owners wrote, “We have decided that it is time for us to retire and have more time to focus on family.” An effort to reach the management, who signed the announcement, “Larry, Sharon, David, Crosby, Katie, and Andrea,” has not received a response as of publication time. The Bloomingtonian notes that this is the second legacy business loss in the downtown area following the closure of the 42-year-old Irish Lion at 212 W. Kirkwood Ave. in May.
