There is a long-running joke that there are way too many pizza places in New Paltz but I think most would agree that Village Pizza is the one pizza place we all think of as one of the OG's.

News broke today that our beloved New Paltz pizza spot, Village Pizza in the Village of New Paltz is closing its doors. Mike Katz and the Katz Family broke the news today to the public via Facebook that Village Pizza has closed its doors for good. They signed off Love, Peace, and Bacon Grease and closed with the quote "Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened" - Ted G.

No doubt the pizza-eating public is saddened by today's announcement and is going to need a moment to get over it. The Village Pizza post on social media is being flooded with well wishes and oh no say it ain't so's.

The past 5 1/2 years have been a wild ride, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity we’ve had to share the food we love with the community we love. It’s not easy for us to walk away — So many factors to consider, so many reasons why we will truly miss this. (Village Pizza via Facebook)

It is hard to believe that the Katz Family has only been in the spot for 5 plus years. It felt like they were always in the spot.

No!!!!! now I have to settle for one of the others. Village was the best pizza in town - Gus
We came there from Kingston for the steak sandwich. The best around! - Terri

THANK YOU for the late-night slices at the dojo, the cold pizza breakfasts sold to me the day before, and for being the most down-to-Earth, light-hearted, and personable guy to ever sell me a slice, Mike. Village Pizza will be missed!! - Michaela

At the end of the post shared by the Village Pizza ownership, Mike and the Katz Family mentioned they are setting out on a new path which we can only hope will still involve food. The Katz Family knows how to run a restaurant and make amazing recipes.
