It’s a Thursday night at 4:50 p.m. and Frank the Pizza King is buzzing — no open tables and a long line of customers waiting to be seated or place takeout orders.
Since news broke that the stand-alone building at 4701 South Broadway in Englewood has been sold to a new landlord and the business must leave by mid-May, “it’s been a whirlwind,” says GM and co-owner Matt Krascek. “We’ve been slammed all week.”
The elephant in the room is palpable. Servers float from table to table, chatting with concerned regulars and answering questions as best as they can about the fate of this longtime Englewood joint.
Staying in the current spot, where Frank the Pizza King opened in 1961, is not an option. “It’s a done deal here,” says Krascek. “We’d love to find a new location in Englewood, but there’s always a chance we’ll have to close for good.”
