Tino's Pizza is closing in early February after nearly four decades in business.
In early January, the family made the painful decision to close Tino’s Pizza, after over 35 years, at 6610 E. Tanque Verde Road on Wednesday, Feb. 2.
“It’s hard to let go,” said Morgan Chonis, the family’s spokeswoman. “It’s been amazing, and the community and love and outpouring of support has been unreal. But ultimately it came down to the family’s decision to retire my father’s legacy.”

Morgan Chonis: “If you went to high school around here, it was the rite of passage to work here. We have kids working here now whose parents worked here.”
