Cheesy Pizzi, located at 8021 Wisconsin Ave. in Bethesda, has permanently closed its doors. The closure marks the end of an era for the local eatery, which began as Pizza Tempo according to its website.
While the exact reasons for the closure have not been officially announced, the business has been for sale for over a year, according to Robert Dyer. Cheesy Pizzi shares on its website that it “It all started when owner Ugur Altintas opened Tempo Pizza in Bethesda. Armed with authentic recipe for pizza, pide (Turkish pizza), and paninis, Pizza Tempo had a great journey and enjoyment serving its customers. We now have the baton from Pizza Tempo…”
Cheesy Pizzi was known for its diverse menu, which included not only classic pizzas but also sandwiches, wraps, and calzones. It had built a loyal customer base, with many relying on the establishment for delivery and takeout, particularly during the late-night hours.
