Flo's Pizzeria Greenville Shuts Doors on April 19

GREENVILLE, Mich. — A family-owned restaurant group with deep roots in West Michigan is making a major change after decades in business, permanently closing its Greenville location on April 19, 2026.

Flo's Pizzeria Ristorante & Sports Bar in Greenville opened nearly a decade ago on South Lafayette and has been a beloved spot for pizza, wings, and classic Italian fare. The closure marks a strategic shift for the family business as it returns to its roots.

Family Business Makes Difficult Decision

Owner Davide Uccello, now the sole owner of all Flo's restaurants, announced the closure in a heartfelt message to the community.

"This was one of the most difficult choices our family has had to make," Uccello said. "Greenville has been such a special part of our story, and we are so grateful for the support of our staff and customers over the years."

Flo's Collection History

The story of Flo's begins with Salvatore and Franca Uccello, who opened the first Flo's Pizzeria (then Florentine's) on Plainfield Avenue in Grand Rapids in 1999. Years later, their sons Dan and Davide Uccello took over the family business, expanding it into multiple locations under the umbrella of Flo's Collection.

The brothers became known for award-winning pizza and a menu that combines family recipes with local ingredients, earning a loyal following across West Michigan.

Focus on Core Locations

Uccello added that the closure allows the company to focus on other locations and return to its roots with special events, weekly gatherings, holiday celebrations, and private events.

"Our goal is to continue creating memorable experiences while honoring the family tradition that started more than 20 years ago," he said.

Gift Cards Still Valid

Uccello encouraged fans to visit one last time before the location closes and noted that gift cards will still be honored at Flo's other restaurants in Belmont, Rockford, and Grand Rapids.

The Greenville location will remain open until 8 p.m. on April 19 for its final day of service.

Other Flo's Locations Remain Open

The family continues to operate several other locations including:

  • Flo's Pizzeria Belmont
  • Flo's Pizzeria Rockford
  • Flo's Pizzeria Grand Rapids

Each location maintains the same family-friendly atmosphere and commitment to quality Italian cuisine that has defined the brand for over two decades.

Community Reaction

The announcement has drawn mixed reactions from the Greenville community. Many longtime patrons expressed sadness over the closure after enjoying the restaurant for nearly ten years, while others welcomed the news as a positive step for the family business.

The restaurant's Facebook page remains active for updates and community engagement as the team prepares for their final days of operation.

About Flo's Collection

Founded in 1999, Flo's Collection has grown from a single location to multiple restaurants across West Michigan. The brand is known for its authentic Italian recipes, family atmosphere, and commitment to quality ingredients.

Under Davide Uccello's leadership, the company continues to honor the legacy established by his parents while adapting to changing dining trends and focusing on creating memorable experiences for customers.
