collaboration between Chipotle and the founders of the original Pizzeria local in Boulder Colorado
while the two Founders retained ownership of the original Boulder location Chipotle progressively
increased its stake in the growing chain originally conceived as a sitdown neighborhood
Pizzeria akin to the boulder establishment Pizzeria local underwent a strategic shift towards
a fast casual concept by the end of its first summer distinguishing itsel
f from conventional
fast service pizza joints Pizzeria local opted for a Chipotle inspired service model crafting
personalized pizzas from scratch we'll start from scratch employees assembled the pies behind
the counter and the pizzas were swiftly baked in rotating gas infrared hybrid ovens for under 2
minutes emphasizing the Simplicity of high quality ingredients including a dough made with just flour
water yeast and salt by February 2017 Pizzeria local boasted seven locations riding on th
e
momentum of the fast casual Trend however despite the initial Buzz the chain faced unforeseen
challenges leading to the gradual closure of its locations over the years the Final Chapter for
pizzeria local unfolded in July 2023 when Chipotle decided to close the remaining five locations the
reasons behind this decision remain undisclosed with Chipotle's statement providing little insight
