Royals Shuts Down in East Hills

After originally opening as a diner in 2020, Royals on Wealthy St. shut down temporarily due to struggles during the pandemic.

In Fall of 2022, after reopening after transitioning into a pizza joint, the restaurant announced its permanent closure to Facebook, saying,

We limped through the pandemic, only to fall victim to a massive hospitality employee shortage, supply chain issues, and rising costs on everything restaurant related... Earlier this summer we took a break to re-concept... While this change showed promise, it wasn't nearly enough to move Royals in the right direction.

While it was sad to say goodbye to Royals, the good news is that a new restaurant is now open at that location!
