After fire, longtime Peoria Heights pizza restaurant provides update
A comeback for a popular Peoria-area pizza restaurant remains in the works. Peoria Pizza Works was severely damaged from a fire on June 6, but the restaurant posted an update on social media and its website that indicated the longtime business plans to return. "Hello everyone … We are currently pending word from our insurance company in order to move forward," Peoria Pizza Works wrote on its Facebook page on Friday. "Yes, we are planning on rebuilding and reopening. At this time we do not know when we will be able to reopen. There is no official cause of the fire as of yet, and as it stands, we may never know what caused the fire. "Please be patient as we move forward so that we can reopen and once again create memories with food, music, gaming, and beer."
