Magpies has been a go-to pizza spot for years now, serving gourmet pizzas to crowds on Fourth Avenue for more than 30 years now. Unfortunately, that epic run is coming to an end on Saturday, May 18.
“We are sorry to inform you that we have lost our lease and will be closing this location as of May 18,” the Magpies team shared.
It’s sad to see the Fourth Avenue location close — a spot that typically hosted live music on the patio during the weekends — but there are still two more Magpies spots in Tucson. Keep supporting the 6342 N. Oracle Rd. location on the north side of town as well as the restaurant found at 105 S. Houghton Rd.
Plus, Magpies has “a lot of exciting things planned for the coming months” and the team is eager to share the news with everyone sometime soon. Stay tuned!
“We cannot thank all of you enough for your support over the years, goodbye for now but not forever!”
Magpies is closing its 605 N. Fourth Ave. location as of Saturday, May 18 so stop by before then to wish the team the best, enjoy a cheesy slice of pizza, and lounge on the shaded patio in the afternoon.
Magpies has two other locations at 6342 N. Oracle Rd. and 105 S. Houghton Rd. For more information, visit magpiespizza.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
