The pandemic has created a nightmare situation with staffing issues, the owners say. The restaurant will close Feb. 13.

HUMBOLDT — Opie’s will be serving up its last slice of pizza in downtown Humboldt on Sunday, Feb. 13.

Owners Nobby and Terra Davis said the decision to close the family-style restaurant after 4½ years was difficult, but unavoidable.

“It’s been a nightmare ever since the pandemic arrived,” in spring of 2020, Nobby Davis said.
