Does anyone when and/or why Vito's on Fort Street in Lincoln Park closed? I've been working mid-nights lately & only noticed earlier this week they were out of business.

Lack of business in Downtown Lincoln Park, now a instant ghetto.

Thanks a lot SEARS and Southland Mall.

Danny I doubt either of those things had to due with Vito's closing

I would agree-they always seemed to be busy when I went there. Consider that Southland & Sears have been around a long long time.

I knew the owners. I guess there was some "domestic dispute," and they closed the place.

Christos-
That would seem a likely reason. It's too bad they had great pizza.

Yeah, it was good stuff! We used to go there after school on half days and stuff ourselves with the "all you can eat pizza for $4", then shoot some stick. Good times.

I dont want to spread any rumors about the owners because they were friends, and i dont know the whole story, but i think it was just a simple family issue.

According to the license they did have a little financial difficulties with some NSF checks. It is also marked as License Transfer pending.
