UNIVERSITY CITY, Mo. – Frank and Helen’s Pizzeria, well-known for its specialty pizzas and broasted chicken, will close its doors before the end of the year.
The restaurant announced in a Facebook post that it plans to close on Dec. 8.
St. Louis Magazine previously reported that the restaurant had a lease set to expire on Oct. 1. For much of this year, the owners were considering closing or relocating the restaurant.
“We have been on the search for over a year and after looking at two dozen buildings and talking to our banker, we have decided a move is just not feasible for us. We are unwilling at this time in our lives to take out a million dollar loan,” said Frank & Helen’s its Facebook post Tuesday. “Thank you for all your support during this process.”
Frank and Helen’s has served the St. Louis community since 1956. The restaurant is located at 8111 Olive Boulevard in University City.
