The Indie has retired.
Specifically, Tom.
October 16th was our last day of business. Tom Siegel and Tora Hennessey opened the Independent Pizzeria in April 2010, nearly 17 years ago.
We are very excited about the next restaurant moving into this location, and we know they will be a beautiful addition to the loyal community that has supported us over the years. We will share more on our Instagram on November 1.
In the meantime, we want to give a huge thanks to all of our amazing former employees, and to our patrons, who are the only part of our time at the Indie we will miss (not the physical labor).
We have been a part of so many of your milestones, watched your children grow, shared so many moments, and found important, lasting friendships with so many of you. Thank you all for being such enriching, integral pieces of our lives. We will always be grateful for each of you.
What's next
Tom plans to spend his retirement meditating, relaxing, and cooking dinner for his beautiful, smart wife, while eventually caring for their two future dogs, Lady Beefstix and Lady Bortus.
Tora plans to play Zelda Does the Macarena in Time, get back to her oil paintings, and find a private job.
Remember to be kind. It costs nothing.
All of our love,
Tom & Tora
