"James Beard-recognized chef and prolific restaurateur Ethan Stowell is closing Ballard Pizza Company, and merging it with a Frelard location that will reopen at 5205 Ballard Av.e NW. A manager tells MyBallard that the decision came because the lease on the Frelard location was up and the current Ballard location needed structural repairs, so combining the two made the most sense. It’s expected to open in November." - Courtney E. Smith
