While we originally planned on tomorrow being our last day, we have sold out of food tonight and have closed our doors.
Tonight is the last night for Donnie's Homespun Pizza 🍕.
We'd like to thank the community for sending us off with a bang!!! However, it's incredibly sad and disheartening that it took us announcing our closure for our restaurant to be consistently FULL.
Over the past year and a half, we bridged the gap between our lunch and dinner service, tried our hand at being open on Mondays and Tuesdays, added sandwiches back into the menu, offered some exciting new pizzas, and hosted a few very unique private events.
And yes, our space did smell like cigar smoke as it's located next to a cigar shop. Something we had no control over.
And yes, we also missed the old space on Oakwood. But rent increases forced Donnie's to move downtown 2.5 years ago. We had nothing to do with that decision when we took over. We did the best with the space we were given and tried to make it feel contemporary and welcoming.
We hosted music events in Central Park. FREE events. Family-friendly. Right in the heart of our downtown.
We did everything we could, everything we were able to do. And it wasn't enough to stay open.
If you don't support your local businesses, they will close.
What's kept us going for this long is the support and care that our staff has put into our dream. We wouldn't have gotten this far without all of you.
Thank you and goodbye for now,
The McNeelys
