FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — A longtime downtown favorite is closing its doors. 816 Pint & Slice, located on Calhoun Street, will serve its final slices Wednesday after 18 years in business. Pint …

As we inch toward closing time, we gotta shine a light on the people who made this place what it is — our crew.

Our current team has shown up every single day with heart and hustle, knowing full well that the clock is ticking and 2026 won’t include a shift here. And still, they show up. They take care of guests. They push through the line-out-the-door rush. They give everything they’ve got, right up until the last slice. These folks will soon hit the job market, and every single one of them has our full recommendation for whatever path or career they decide to step into. That kind of commitment is rare, and we’re unbelievably proud — and grateful — to stand beside them.

And to everyone who worked here over the past 18 years: THANK YOU. You made pies, poured pints, handled the chaos, and helped build this place — one slice at a time. You shaped the memories people carry with them when they think of this corner of downtown.

We’re humbled. We’re grateful. We’re proud of what we built together — and prouder still of the people behind it.

Here’s to every shift, every laugh, every late-night cleanup, and every person who made this pizzeria feel like home.

ONE LAST RIDE.

Welp, y'all, this is it. The last day. The end of an era. After 18 years, we're down to our last day of service.

The menu is simple: pizza, salads, bread sticks. Nothing crazy. Back to the basics. Dancing with who brung us.

We're going out our way - with our chins up, smiles on our faces, and slanging killer slices. Open 'til 8 p.m. Slide through for one last party.

And thank you. For everything.

We’re feeling nostalgic as we count down our final hours 😢

Drop any Pint memories in the comments!

OK, whew 😅. It’s been CRAZY down here. And we’re trying like hell to keep up.

So, from here on out, until we close up shop Dec. 31, we’ll be DINE-IN ONLY.

Six more days to hang one last time.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! 🎄

We’re officially in single digits. 9 days left.

Our goal when we opened 18 years ago was never to just make pizza. We wanted to make a place. Thank you for filling 8️⃣1️⃣6️⃣ with laughter, conversation, love, and all the vibes.

We hope to see you all for one last slice, one last pint, before Dec. 31.

IT'S LAST CALL.

We’re officially in our final two weeks. The love you’ve shown us these last few weeks has been UNREAL, and we’re beyond grateful. The rush has been heavy, the ovens have been running basically nonstop, and we’re doing everything we can to keep the quality tight ‘til the very end. We SOOOO appreciate your patience.

To keep things moving:
📞 Online ordering is OFF.
☎️ Phone orders for carry-out only.
This helps us give you real ticket times and keep the chaos controlled.

We’re also running our stock down so nothing goes to waste. That means some favorites are already gone:
❌ Wings
❌ Pasta
❌ Detroit-style
❌ Wraps

Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

For our final week, we’re stripping it back to the essentials:
🍕 Pizza slices
🥖 Breadsticks
🥗 Greek, Garden & Caesar salads

Simple. Loud. Delicious.

Holiday Hours (read ‘em twice):
🎄 Christmas Eve: 11a–3p
🎄 Christmas Day: CLOSED
🥂 New Year’s Eve (our final day): 12p–8p

Thank you for riding with us these last weeks. Let’s run this thing out on a high note.

Killer day to come downtown and scarf some pizza.

We’ve got a couple of weeks left here downtown, and before we go, we want to say something we wish more people heard — not for us, but for every small restaurant fighting to stay alive.

The truth? Those convenient delivery apps that make life easy are quietly crushing places like ours. The fees cut into what little profit we have, the nonstop online orders overwhelm tiny kitchens, and the customer experience often lands on us even when it’s out of our control. Visibility is great, but the cost is killing small local restaurants.

If you love a local spot, order directly from them. Better yet, walk through their doors, sit down, and enjoy a meal made by real people trying their best every day.

We’re saying this for the restaurants still hanging on. Your choices matter more than you know. Support local. Order direct. Dine in. Help them survive and thrive.

Yo yo yo, we’re going to open a smidge late Saturday - at 1 p.m. We’ve got a couple large events that we’ll be handling and won’t have space for normal service until then. Appreciate the understanding!
