A Grimaldi’s Pizzeria restaurant in Greenville has shut its doors for good.

But it suffered unbeknownst to its fans.
And it closed the location in silence as a result.

“We appreciate the support of the community and value every member of our Grimaldi’s family, including our guests," the Grimaldi's South Carolina location told local Fox affiliate WHNS.
"This was purely a business decision."
The Greenville location was one of two Grimaldi’s in South Carolina. The other is located in Mount Pleasant.
South Carolinians still craving Gramaldi's aren't completely out of luck though.
