Peach & the Porkchop opened nearly 10 years ago a few years after Chuck and Alyssa Stanley moved to the area in 2007 from Colorado.
The menu featured items that were a mix of Chuck’s Pittsburgh roots and Alyssa’s Southern roots, according to the restaurant’s website. The couple focused on making sure the items was locally-sourced.
“I love making people happy,” Chuck Stanley said on the restaurant’s website. “I strongly believe in putting out a great product and standing behind what I do.”
The restaurant’s social media post on Wednesday did not give a reason behind the closure. However, a social media post in July when it first closed said they were experiencing mechanical issues.
