Columbus pizzeria closes again after truck hits fan for the second time since December

COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — A Downtown pizzeria has been shut down again after a truck crashed into its exhaust fan for the second time since December.

OH Pizza and Brew is temporarily closed, owner Luke Edwards announced in a social media post Wednesday. Edwards cited a semi running into the restaurant’s exhaust fan as the reason. The pizza shop at 88 E. Broad St. will stay closed until the fan is fixed.

Recently, the pizzeria closed for a nearly identical reason.

The restaurant announced in December it would be temporarily shut down because a box truck had hit its exhaust fan. At the time, it said the repairs would not be a quick fix. Based on social media posts in the weeks after, it had reopened by mid-January.

When this previously happened, OH Pizza and Brew received little assistance in repairing its exhaust fan. Edwards said in the post that “neither the company that hit it or my insurance covered anything last time.” He hoped it would be different this time but wasn’t holding his breath.
