North Lakes residents are reeling from the unexpected closure of Pizza Temptations, a beloved local pizzeria and the last remaining vestige of a once-thriving South East Queensland franchise.
The announcement came this week via a heartfelt social media post from owner-operators Kylie and Craig Oldfield, who expressed gratitude for the community’s support over the past seven years.
The Oldfields’ decision to close marks the final chapter for Pizza Temptations, which began its journey a decade ago in Upper Coomera under the helm of founders Daniel Pirrone-Cook and Belinda Ann Karcoushkas. The original location closed in August of last year, leaving the North Lakes store as the sole remaining outpost of the franchise.
News of the closure has sparked an outpouring of support and reminiscing from loyal customers on social media. Many expressed sadness at losing a local favourite, with some sharing fond memories of the Oldfields and their staff. One commenter even thanked the couple for providing their children with valuable work experience.
While the reasons behind the closure remain undisclosed, it is clear that Pizza Temptations has left a lasting impression on the North Lakes community. As the last embers of the franchise fade, the memories of delicious pizzas and warm service will undoubtedly continue to linger.
