A Jacksonville-area restaurant that earned national recognition for its giant slices of New York-style pizza has abruptly closed two of its five locations.
Biggie’s Pizza shut its doors at 880 State Road A1A, Suite 8, in Ponte Vedra Pointe shopping center in Ponte Vedra Beach, and at 4160 Southside Blvd. in the Gates of Tinseltown shopping center in Jacksonville.
Pizzeria owners couldn’t be reached for comment immediately. It’s unknown whether the restaurants are relocating or have closed permanently.
Remaining open are Biggie’s Pizza locations at 1053 Park St. in Jacksonville’s Five Points business district, 311 Third St. N., Unit 101, in Jacksonville Beach, and 13423 Beach Blvd. at Beach and Hodges boulevards in the Intracoastal West area.
The pizzeria closures are the most recent in the new year. After more than 21 years, Woody’s Bar-B-Q closed its Ponte Vedra Beach restaurant . Open just over a year, Mr. Potato Spread’s first franchise location on Philips Highway also has closed.
