After more than 15 flavorful years of serving up fan-favorite pies, ice-cold beer and a welcoming hangout for locals and tourists alike, Landshark’s Pizza officially closed the doors of its current location on May 22, 2025. But loyal fans, don’t worry—this is not the end of the road, just a heartfelt pause in the journey.
“Wow. What a ride,” say owners Brian, Sue and Heidi Hassmann in a Facebook post. “Running this business was never easy—but it was meaningful. Every early morning, every late night, every problem we solved and every customer we served—it was worth it. We took pride in what we built. We worked hard and we gave people something special.”
“To our team: you are the reason this place ever worked. The passion, the hustle, the way you showed up for each other—that’s what made this more than a job. You showed heart when it counted. We shared good times, tough lessons, and a whole lot of laughs. That’s the stuff we’ll remember.”
“To our loyal customers: you kept us going. You came back, you spread the word, you let us be part of your lives. Thank you for supporting us, for rooting for us and for showing up again and again. We noticed. We won’t forget.”
The Hassmanns say this summer will be dedicated to rest, recovery and a thoughtful reimagining of what’s next. “We’re not disappearing — we’re preparing. With fresh energy and a fresh location on the horizon, our hearts are pulling us back to Destin, where the story began — and where the next chapter is already taking shape.”
Fans are encouraged to follow along for updates and sneak peeks. “When we’re ready to fire up the ovens again, you’ll be the first to know.”
“There are always things we could have done differently. But we leave this chapter with no regrets—just lessons learned, friends made and pride in what we accomplished.”
“With love and gratitude—Brian, Sue and Heidi Hassmann.”
As one chapter closes, another one rises—cheesy, saucy and full of promise. Stay tuned. The next slice of Landshark’s legacy is just around the corner.
