This decision was not made lightly, and we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering loyalty and support throughout the years.

I am so sorry to hear this. Cacias was always a staple in our home for holidays and Sunday family dinners. Thank you for all those years and good luck to all of you, you will be missed.

I’ve literally been going to Cacias since I was a small child this is so sad

This is terrible. I first discovered your tomato pies and pizza in 1994 when I was at Rowan College and been a customer since even though I now live far away.
