Allegro Pizza closed for light remodeling
Allegro Pizza, at 40th and Spruce streets, closed indefinitely late last week.
A sign on the door said that the store had been shut down by the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections, in order to fix parts of the structure including the ceiling.
A spokesman for the department had no knowledge of the shut down.
According to the answering machine at Allegro Pizza, the shop will be closed for a few weeks for light remodeling.
The message also instructed customers to buy food from The Greek Lady and The Best House Pizza while Allegro Pizza remains closed.
