Gio’s Chicago Pizza closing after 4.5 years, citing health and rising costs

Gio’s Chicago Pizza, a Nashville-based deep-dish pizza business, is closing after 4.5 years due to rising costs, health challenges, and food truck operational difficulties. Owner Greg Knotek cites prostate cancer, a stolen generator, and high fuel prices as key factors, but plans to return in the future. The final service will be held Friday night at Citizens Kitchen.
