DeLorenzo's Pizza was shut down in March after not paying state taxes

You may remember the story. Owner, Rick DeLorenzo, started a GoFundMe asking for help to pay the tax debit, so he could open up again and give the people what they wanted...his pizza. He got the money he asked for, and more, and was reopened by early April.

There was no announcement that DeLorenzo's Pizza was closed for good. On the same day, November 23, Rick DeLorenzo posted that he'd miss serving his favorites during the holidays and he couldn't wait to be back after the renovations. Hmmm.

But, DeLorenzo's The Burg wants to make a few things very clear before they open early next year.

DeLorenzo's The Burg has no business connection to DeLorenzo's Pizza

The restaurant posted on Facebook: "Prior to opening, we want to clear up a few important points: We have absolutely NO connection to the dispensary next door. The building is being split into two completely separate spaces. We have NO business connection to the previous owners of DeLorenzo’s Pizza on Sloan Avenue."

Got it?

The owner of DeLorenzo's The Burg continued in the post, "This is an exciting opportunity for me to continue the legacy of my grandfather, and restore the community of Hamilton’s faith in the brand that he worked so hard to build."

I'll let you know when I find out the grand opening date.
