Detroit's eclectic Pizza Cat Max outpost is bidding farewell to its patrons this weekend, as the establishment announced it's shutters will close for good. In a statement the company made Friday, they revealed the final day for customers to grab their unique slices will be Sunday, March 3, before the location ceases operation at midnight. The reason behind the closure has not been made public, as reported by FOX 2 Detroit.

Opening its doors in the summer of 2022, Pizza Cat Max took up residence where the Ready Player One arcade formerly buzzed with life, a space that had sat idle since 2017. Despite the close of this Detroit spot, Pizza Cat Max will maintain its carryout locations in Oak Park, Westland, and Madison Heights. Notably, it was the Detroit location that offered customers the chance to dine in, an option that will now be missing in Michigan, as found in a report by WXYZ.

Known for its offbeat approach to pizza and the motto to "keep pizza weird," Pizza Cat Max quickly became a recognizable name, expanding its presence with multiple carryout locations following its Detroit inception. Even after the closure, the original location in Toledo will continue to operate. This info was detailed in coverage from Patch.

The company took to Facebook to express its gratitude toward the community, saying, "We appreciate everyone who has come and been apart of the journey," a sentiment to their brief but memorable stint in Detroit. While the closure marks the end of an era for Pizza Cat Max in Detroit, the remaining outposts ensure their distinct take on pizza lives on in the Michigan area.
