Pieology reportedly had 27 locations in four states and Guam as of October 9, 2026, after closing more than 120 locations since its peak. Those figures come from an October 11, 2026 report that attributed the current count to the company’s website; operating status can change, so check Pieology’s official location information before making a trip.
How many Pieology locations are still open?
The October 11, 2026 report said Pieology had 27 locations in four states and Guam as of October 9, 2026. The report attributed that count to Pieology’s website. It did not establish through a reconciled location list that every listed restaurant was open for regular service on that date. For an address or local operating information, use Pieology’s official website and check the location-specific details.

The same report said the chain had closed more than 120 locations since its peak. That is a cumulative estimate, not the number of stores that closed during 2026 alone.

The October 11 report cited the following historical counts. These are secondary-source figures, not a separately audited series, and the report does not establish that every count uses an identical definition of an operating location.

| Year or date | Reported location count | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 | About 150 | Described in the report as independently owned restaurants. |
| 2019 | 125 | Historical figure cited by the report. |
| 2021 | 116 | Historical figure cited by the report. |
| 2024 | 103 | Historical figure cited by the report. |
| December 8, 2025 | 45 | Reported count when the parent company filed for Chapter 11 protection. |
| October 9, 2026 | 27 | Count attributed to Pieology’s website by the October 11, 2026 report. |
The reported contraction predates the bankruptcy filing: the chain’s reported count had already declined from about 150 in 2017 to 103 in 2024. The figures show a timeline, but they do not establish that bankruptcy caused every closure or explain the business reasons behind the wider decline.
What the bankruptcy filing means for the closure timeline
Pieology’s parent company, Little Brown Box Pizza LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 8, 2025, when the chain reportedly had 45 restaurants. The filing is one point in the timeline, not evidence that all closures happened because of bankruptcy: the reported counts show that the footprint had been shrinking for years before the filing.

What is known about the Folsom closure
The October 11 report described a recent closure in Folsom, California. It attributed the franchisee’s decision not to renew its lease to information that Pappas Investments leasing executive Kelly Rule gave the Sacramento Bee. The report also said Pieology retained two nearby Sacramento-area locations. This account concerns that specific lease decision; it does not establish a general cause for closures elsewhere.
How to check whether your local Pieology is open
- Go to Pieology’s official website and use its location information to find the restaurant nearest you.
- Review the information for that specific location before traveling. A chain-wide count or an older directory listing cannot confirm a restaurant’s current service status.
- If the location’s details are unclear, use the contact information provided for that restaurant or on the official site.
Pieology describes its restaurants as independently owned and operated, and its official site also provides information about its custom pizzas, salads, rewards, catering, and app. Location-specific information is the practical source for visit planning because restaurant status can change.
