Pizza 51 owner says deal on new Fairway location still moving forward

The original Pizza 51 location in Brookside is in a remodelled filling station, as well.

Pizza 51 owner Jason Pryor on Thursday told PVPost.com that his company was moving forward with plans to open a new location in the abandoned service station at 60th Street and Mission Road in Fairway.

A few weeks ago, Pryor told the Fairway city council the building’s owners had a Feb. 4 deadline for closing the sale of the property. But the inclement weather combined with the complexities of having a Missouri-based company purchasing a property in Kansas have pushed the deadline back.

“We’re definitely still moving forward, it’s just taking a little longer than we thought,” Pryor said. “We’re looking at getting things wrapped up in the next two or three weeks.”
