Via 313 Pizza closes in Tempe after 8 months

🚫 Wow, less than 48 hours after telling me about a bunch of upcoming promotions, Via 313 Pizza has closed its only Arizona location after just eight months in business.

The Texas-based chain of Detroit-style pizzerias made its Grand Canyon State debut June 26 on the northeast corner of Rural and University.

A voicemail greeting says the location can’t answer the phone because it’s ‘‘busy making dough,’’ but a sign on the door says it’s closed permanently.
