A Cedar Rapids pizza restaurant is on the move after determining that a multi-year construction project would be too much for their business to survive.

Pizza World is currently located at 4201 42nd Street NE in Cedar Rapids. They are the only location in the state of Iowa. It opened in October of 2021 and serves gourmet pizzas along with pasta, salads, wings, and more. They also specialize in pairing their food with local beers and wines from Iowa. In a Facebook post earlier this week, they announced that a huge upcoming construction project has the restaurant on the move.

According to the post, the city of Cedar Rapids has announced a road construction project that will shut down 42nd Street for several years. That is one of the key routes to Pizza World. After discussions with the city of Cedar Rapids broke down, the restaurant made the difficult decision to move to a new location. So coming soon to The Fountains, it will be Pizza World with VooDoo Brewing!

The new Pizza World location will be just down the road near Hy-Vee in The Fountains shopping center off Edgewood Road. According to the Facebook post, they hope to have the new restaurant location open in late January or February. Stay tuned for updates!

In the meantime, today is your last chance to enjoy some Pizza World pizza at their old location on 42nd Street in Cedar Rapids. We've actually had some of their pizza delivered to our radio stations! They brought us one of their Big World Challenge-sized pizzas to try. Check out this pizza!
