CHARLOTTE — A longtime pizza restaurant in Plaza Midwood is set to close its doors for good this weekend.

The Pizza Peel & Tap Room will close at 1600 Central Ave. on Saturday after a decade in business, the restaurant posted Wednesday night on social media. It will be replaced by sister concept The Improper Pig, the restaurant indicated in its post.

“We are profoundly grateful to all of our loyal customers for your support over the years,” a post stated on Pizza Peel’s Instagram page. “While this chapter is ending, we look forward to our new sister restaurant concept, the Improper Pig … opening soon with an exciting new menu to explore.”

The original location of Pizza Peel in Cotswold will remain open, the post read. That restaurant is at 4422 Colwick Road.
