GREEN BAY - The lunch crowd and late-night party people will have to find a new pizza place now that Polito's has given up its slice of the business.

Before closing in late February/early March, Polito's, 201 N. Washington St., was one of nine locations the Stevens Point-based chain operated and one of two in northeastern Wisconsin. The other is in Oshkosh.

Signs in the storefront indicate the business is for sale.

Its large, New York style slices, affordable specials and ability to fill an order quickly made it a popular spot for downtown residents and employees at lunchtime as well as the weekend party crowd looking for a bite.

Kevin Polito, founder of the chain, did not immediately return messages seeking details about why the store closed.

Streetwise will update this story as more details become available.
