Ghost of Armand's Pizzeria hovers over Krazy Steve's closing auction in Silver Spring


Krazy Steve's
is closing at 1909 Seminary Road in the Montgomery Hills area of Silver Spring, according to an online auction listing. You can bid on the usual kitchen equipment, and even a food truck. But what stands out the most to longtime area residents is that there are items from the previous tenant at this location, Armand's Chicago Pizzeria, up for bid as well.

There is a 37" Armand's Pizzeria sign. And Armand's Pizza delivery signs for vehicles. Those have to be bid on as a set. These would be nice keepsakes for the Armand's fan, while supporting the owner of Krazy Steve's, as he winds down operations in this difficult time for all restaurants.

The virtual disappearance of the Armand's chain in the area has been more lamentable by the day, as dietary trends seem to favor thin crusts in the new pizzerias that have opened in recent years (R.I.P., Pi Pizzeria in Bethesda, one of the few deep dish entries). Fortunately, there is still one Armand's left, in Rockville. Enjoy a takeout slice from there at home, under your new Armand's Pizzeria sign!

  1. Love the Armand's sign. Bet it'd be a real pain to hang, though. Probably quite heavy/needs to attach to your ceiling joists.

  2. I enjoy thin crust and Neapolitan, but as a Midwestern boy Chicago style has always been my favorite, though I found Armand's sauce a little too sweet. Sad to see Steve's is closing; he had great pizza. I tried several times to order during the summer but kept running into changing hours and he was closed. :(
