Two of Pegasus Pizza and Pasta’s longest-serving chefs are now running the whole show at the Junction staple, with a grand reopening weekend set for Friday through Sunday, June 12 to 6/14.
Gabriel Castro and Isidro Ocampo have bought the restaurant and taken over day-to-day operations, promising to keep the Pegasus pies West Seattle already knows while rolling out new dishes and quicker service. It is a fresh chapter for a brand that has fed the peninsula for decades.
As reported by West Seattle Blog, Gabriel and Isidro have worked at Pegasus since 1996 and “have been the head chefs and culinary backbone” for more than 30 years. Gabe said, “We have poured my heart into this kitchen since day one.” The announcement notes that previous owner Ted has semi-retired and “passed the torch” to the longtime kitchen duo.
Pegasus’s website now carries an “Under new management!” banner, with updated hours and online ordering that signal the handoff is already in effect. Visitors will find a breakfast section, a reservations page, and links to third-party delivery services. According to Pegasus Pizza, the restaurant is taking both reservations and takeout orders as the refreshed menu comes online.
What’s changing
The new owners say customers can look forward to a full breakfast menu (8 am to 6 pm), 14 flavors of fried jumbo wings, and broader offerings overall, with in-house delivery listed as coming soon. They also report upgrading kitchen equipment to “enable faster and more reliable food production.”
Those menu and operations details come from the announcement shared with West Seattle Blog, which also confirms the June 12 to 6/14 grand reopening weekend.
Where to find it and what to expect
The restaurant continues to operate from its Junction location, and the website lists daily hours along with multiple ways to order, including DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats. The online setup features a prominent “Order Online” button plus a reservations link, so diners can check current menus, schedule a table, or line up a pickup.

Local context
Pegasus’s return under new leadership lands at a time when the Junction’s dining roster keeps shifting, and the decision to pass ownership to longtime staff is aimed at giving regulars a steady hand on the oven. The West Seattle Junction business directory lists Pegasus as an active storefront on California Avenue, underscoring its role as a neighborhood fixture.
Neighbors will get their first taste of the expanded breakfast and wing lineups during the reopening weekend, June 12 to 6/14.
