Pizzeria Adagio to close

Posted Friday, December 17, 2010, at 5:06 PM

After just two years in business, Pizzaeria Adagio located off County Road 318 between Cape and Gordonville, is closing.

Saturday night will be their last night in business, said owner

Brian Probst, who runs the business with his wife Gretchen.

The restaurant, known for its deep-dish pizza, is closing for both business and personal reasons, said Brian Probst. He hopes to save up some additional capital and possibly re-open the business in a different location in the future.

The restaurant's website is: http://www.pizzeriaadagio.com/

I thought they had a great product. Unfortunately when you need a GPS to find the place it is hard to have a large clientele.

ParkerDaws, you nailed that. I had heard of the place, but couldn't figure out how to get there.

When I finally DID find it, I stuck a waypoint in my GPS to make it easier for the next trip.

The food was good and the staff was friendly. I just couldn't figure out how they could make a go of it in that location. I guess the answer was that they couldn't.

I hope they manage to pull it off in the future.

I kept meaning to try it and never made it. The location was unusual and I never heard it advertised.

It was off County Road 318 at the bottom of Cadmium. Technically the restaurant was in a large addition on the side of the house.

Sorry to see it go. We prefer going to locally owned restaurants.

Had the pizza once and unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. That's ashame, because I love Chicago style deep dish pizza and had my hopes set on this. But the actual product was anything but authentic deep dish pizza. Oh well, easy come easy go. I wish the owners best of luck in the future.
