Friday, October 9th, will be our last night serving pizza at VFW Post 3020. ❤️🍕
It’s hard to put into words what this little chapter has meant to our family.
First and foremost, we want to thank the VFW for giving Pace Family Pizza a place to grow. Thank you to the members for welcoming us into your space, supporting us, and letting us become a part of your Friday nights.
And to our customers, who are loyal AF, we really don’t know how to thank you enough.
Some of you followed us from the garage days. Some of you found us at the VFW. And some of you have quite literally never missed a Friday. You showed up week after week, brought your families, told your friends, shared our posts, ordered pizzas for your kids’ birthday parties, and so much more!
In less than eight months, we’ve made over 3,500 pizzas out of a modest little kitchen and a tiny pizza oven. 😂🍕 We never could have imagined that when this all started.
The truth is, if Pace Family Pizza were still just a hobby, we probably would’ve stayed at the VFW forever.
But somewhere along the way, this crazy little pizza hobby turned into a real business.
We’re still learning every single day, but we’re also learning that sometimes we have to stop thinking like people who just love making pizza and start thinking like business owners. As Pace Family Pizza continues to grow, we’ve reached a point where our current arrangement at the VFW is no longer the right fit for the direction our business is heading.
That doesn’t take away one bit from how grateful we are for the opportunity we were given.
We had so much fun on those Friday nights. We made a lot of pizza, met a lot of great people, learned more than we ever expected to learn, and grew this business more than we could’ve imagined.
Our short stint at the VFW will always be a pivotal part of the Pace Family Pizza story and how we got started. ❤️
So to the VFW, its members, our customers, our friends, our family, and everyone who has supported this crazy dream of ours…
Thank you. Truly.
We hope you’ll come out this Friday, October 9th, for one last Friday night with us at the VFW. Dine in or takeout!
Let’s make a whole lot of pizza, celebrate an incredible eight months, and go out with a bang. 🍕❤️
Chapter 2 may be ending, but the Pace Family Pizza story is just getting started.
We don’t know exactly what Chapter 3 looks like just yet, but we’re excited to figure it out and we hope you’ll stick around for the ride. ❤️🍕
On to Chapter 3! ❤️✨
Rich, Debb & the Pace Family
