Lou Malnati's halts plan for Fishers restaurant, city says
Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria has withdrawn plans to build a full-service restaurant near State Road 37 in Fishers.
Fishers spokeswoman Ashley Elrod said the business notified the city it would not be moving into a space formerly occupied by Aurelio’s pizza at 13147 Parkside Drive.
The company did not say why it was pulling out, she said. Representatives of Malnati’s did not respond to requests for comment.
As recently as last October, Lou Malnati’s sought approval for outdoor seating and façade improvements and had provided Fishers with sketches of its plan.
The Planned Unit Development Committee unanimously recommended approval of the additions.
The Chicago area-based pizzeria has carryout and delivery spots in Indianapolis, Carmel, Greenwood and Avon. The Fishers site would have been its second full-service restaurant: the other is in Indianapolis’ Broad Ripple neighborhood.
