The North Loop food hall where Wrecktangle Pizza and Ono Hawaiian Plates got their start is calling it quits after five years.

‍North Loop Galley will close after May 10, Galley Group CEO Chad Ellingboe confirmed in an email to Downtown Voices.

“While often the want is something juicy or salacious, there isn't in this instance,” he wrote on Thursday. “All we can say is cheers to the five years we had, and we look forward to watching the continued success of the North Loop.”

The Galley opened in late 2019, with then-new concepts Wrecktangle Pizza and Ono Hawaiian Plates as two of its founding food vendors. Despite the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic a few months later, the food hall was able to survive and help both of those restaurants thrive.

“The Galley was a great starting point for our friends at Wrecktangle Pizza and Ono Hawaiian Plates, who both used the opportunity to build a following and grow their footprint throughout the city,” Ellingboe said.

Wrecktangle Pizza went on to join the Market at Malcolm Yards, a food hall in the Prospect Park neighborhood, and open a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Lyn-Lake. Its co-founders also started new concepts, Wrap and Wrad, both of which are inside Graze Food Hall by Travail, also in the North Loop.

Ono Hawaiian Plates expanded to United Noodles in the Seward neighborhood. Co-owner Jessie Kelley told the North Loop Neighborhood Association that the restaurant has started to look for another space, hopefully nearby.

At least for now, it sounds like Good Boy and Kawae, the other Galley vendors, are tabling their culinary aspirations.

Jim Pfeffer, the Galley’s general manager and Good Boy’s operator, told the North Loop Neighborhood Association that he’s going to take a break for now to spend more time at home.

“I had a baby two months ago, so right now I’m just going to focus on being a dad and enjoying those moments that you don’t get a second chance at,” he said. “Obviously, we love being a part of the neighborhood. We love what we add to the neighborhood. It’s a decision that was made by our ownership, that I stand by and it just makes sense, it’s business.”

‍Galley Group also operates food halls in Pittsburgh and the Cincinnati area.
