Fox Restaurant Concepts closes both Fly Bye locations

Fox Restaurant Concepts has closed both Fly Bye locations, ending a six-year run for its Detroit-style pizza and crispy chicken brand. Fly Bye announced the closures on social media.

The restaurants were Fly Bye Arcadia at Camelback and 40th Street and the Desert Ridge Marketplace location, both in Phoenix.

Fly Bye started in December 2020 as a pandemic-era ghost kitchen run out of The Yard in north central Phoenix. It later moved into storefronts, including the Desert Ridge spot, which was its first dine-in location.

Fans can still get their Fly Bye favorites. The menu continues at a new ‘‘Doughbird on the Fly’’ window at Doughbird at Seventh Street and Missouri.

In its farewell post, the team thanked the neighborhoods it served and recalled school fundraisers and post-game meals. The message closed with “See you soon at Doughbird.”
