A new pizzeria, distillery and brewery will open inside a historic building in downtown Rockford following an extensive restoration.
Malph’s Pizza Pub, created by the owners of Rockford Brewing Co., will take the place of Vitale’s Pizza of Rockford by spring of 2023.
“We are excited to honor the labor of love of ‘all things pizza’ that Terry Prowoznik has delivered over the years at Vitale’s,” said Seth Rivard, co-owner of Rockford Brewing Company and now Malph’s Pizza Pub.
The owners launched a Kickstarter campaign with a goal of raising $15,000 and are inviting the community to help support restoration of the building, portions of which date to 1866. Rewards for supporting the Kickstarter range from a bottle of Malph’s Umami Mommy Hot Sauce and make-at-home pizza kits, to free pizzas for a year and a pizza party for 20 when Malph’s opens.
