Barely a year after they opened their brick-and-mortar location, Pompeii Pizza on Central Street in Bangor has closed its doors.
Like many Bangor area folks, my first experience with Pompeii Pizza was their popular food truck down on the Waterfront. They specialize in wood fired pizza, and it's really good. Really, pretty much anything cooked in a wood fired oven is going to awesome. I'd probably eat skunk eyes if they were slow-cooked in a wood oven. (No, I wouldn't.)
But, according to a post on their Facebook page, Pompeii has closed their downtown location, likely after all the devastation that COVID-19 has brought to many small businesses around the country. Small restaurants have been hit especially hard, due to such razor-thin profit margins.
