Hellfired Pizza has closed its doors for good after 12 years, citing persistent financial challenges. 

The Kennewick restaurant spent most of its time operating as The Rock Wood Fired Pizza until a name change more than a year ago. Its owners said in a statement that the decision to close came “despite a strong effort to rebrand, rebuild and retain staff through a difficult economy.” 

The restaurant at 4862 W. Hildebrand Blvd., which is two-story and covers more than 8,000 square feet, remains fully equipped and available for lease, according to a release. Leasing details were not immediately available. 

“This closure is part of a broader wind-down of our restaurant group, and while it’s bittersweet, we’re hopeful the space will find new life with another operator,” said Brad Loucks, a company representative, in a statement. “It’s turnkey-ready and still in great shape.”
