Saturn Pizza Ice Cream & Shakes has permanently closed its location in Brick Township, New Jersey, earlier this month. The well-loved eatery, noted for its scratch-made pizza and unique menu items such as deep-fried hot dogs, has ceased operations due to the property’s landlord securing a new developer. This unexpected turn of events has left many loyal customers disappointed.
The pizza shop was a cherished spot for residents, situated next to the Conoco on Route 70. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and diverse menu, Saturn Pizza had become a staple for local pizza enthusiasts. The owner, who recently oversaw a grand reopening in March 2025, is now actively seeking a new location to continue serving the community.
While the closure marks the end of an era for Saturn Pizza, the owner remains optimistic about finding a new venue. The pizzeria’s renovations included an updated interior and an expanded menu, which had attracted a steady stream of customers before the closure was announced.
This situation reflects a broader trend affecting small businesses, where changing property management and development plans can significantly impact local favorite establishments. The loss of Saturn Pizza serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by small business owners in maintaining their presence amid shifting commercial landscapes.
As the owner navigates the search for a new site, many in Brick Township are hopeful that Saturn Pizza will rise again, continuing its legacy of delicious food and cherished community ties. The future may hold new opportunities, and for devoted patrons, the hope remains that their favorite pizza shop will find a way back to the neighborhood.
