Jake and Elwood’s Chicago-style pizza restaurant closes in Clifton neighborhood

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - A Louisville restaurant offering Chicago-style pizza and sandwiches has closed immediately, the business’ owner has confirmed.

Jake and Elwood’s, located at 2230 Frankfort Avenue, is closed “effective immediately,” according to a post from the business.

The restaurant was owned by Chicago-native John Thurlow, who came to Louisville in 2019.

Thurlow soon opened the restaurant as a home for Chicago cuisine and sports, offering deep dish pizza, Chicago-style hot dogs and sandwiches.

“It has been a real joy getting to know all of you and being a member of the Clifton and greater Louisville community,” Thurlow’s post reads. “Thanks for all the memories!”

No reason was provided on the restaurant’s closure.
