Fiero Pizza has closed its pizza and chicken restaurants on West 41st Street.

Co-owner Jennifer Kelly said operating locations there and downtown stretched the family too thin, and they like to have a family member at each location.

“We would prefer to go back to our downtown community and have that as our main focus,” she said. “We love downtown and plan on being there for many years.”

Fiero isn’t ruling out future locations, she said, but is focusing on balancing work and family for now.

Fiero Pizza and Fiero Fire Chicken opened in the Park Place center on West 41st Street between Kiwanis and Louise avenues earlier this year.
