The Oregano’s Pizza Bistro location in downtown Tempe will temporarily close, according to the pizza chain’s website. A location in North Scottsdale will close as well because the restaurants don’t have enough workers to run their day-to-day operations.
Both restaurants are scheduled to remain closed until April 2022.
“Since 1993, Oregano’s has been known for its promise of great food and guest service,” says a statement on the company’s website. “We are not immune to the current challenges facing all businesses, particularly as it relates to maintaining an adequate level of team members who can deliver on that promise.”
The statement goes on to say, “Based on these challenges, we have decided to temporarily close our Tempe University restaurant until April 2022 so our valued team members can assist at other Oregano’s restaurants.”
The Tempe restaurant is located at University Drive and Roosevelt Street. The North Scottsdale restaurant is at Shea Boulevard and Scottsdale Road.
Oregano’s South Tempe location at 1475 W. Elliot Road remains open as usual.
