The story of Flo’s begins with Salvatore and Franca Uccello, who opened the first Flo’s Pizzeria (then Florentine's) on Plainfield Ave. in Grand Rapids in 1999. Years later, their sons Dan and Davide Uccello took over the family business, expanding it into multiple locations under the umbrella of Flo’s Collection. The brothers became known for award-winning pizza and a menu that combines family recipes with local ingredients.

Owner Davide Uccello, now the sole owner of all Flo’s restaurants, recently announced that the Greenville location will permanently shut its doors on April 19, 2026.

In a message to the community, Davide reflected on the decision:

“This was one of the most difficult choices our family has had to make. Greenville has been such a special part of our story, and we are so grateful for the support of our staff and customers over the years.”

He added that the closure allows the company to focus on other locations and return to its roots with special events, weekly gatherings, holiday celebrations, and private events:

“Our goal is to continue creating memorable experiences while honoring the family tradition that started more than 20 years ago.”

Davide encouraged fans to visit one last time before the location closes and noted that gift cards will still be honored at Flo’s other restaurants in Belmont, Rockford, and Grand Rapids.
