The House of Pizza in Sartell closed March 1 after 20 years of operating a successful business at the city’s Pine Cone Marketplace mall along Pinecone Road N.
The pizza restaurant was owned and operated by Brandon Testa whose father, Bob, opened a House of Pizza place in downtown St. Cloud 60 years ago. Throughout the years, House of Pizza pizzas have consistently won awards as some of the best in Minnesota – and beyond.
According to many news sources, the decision to close the Sartell House of Pizza was because of a disagreement between its owner and the building’s property owner about the price of the lease for that space.
Testa’s other House of Pizza location, at 4048 Second St. S. in west St. Cloud, will continue to stay open, including for delivery service throughout the area.
