NB’s Wicked Bah Pizza, a popular pizzeria in New Braunfels known for its East Coast-inspired flavors, has announced it will be closing its doors after just 2 ½ years in business. The restaurant, which opened in November 2022, quickly became a favorite spot for local pizza lovers, offering a taste of South Shore-style pizza in the heart of the historic Texas town.
Founded by Nikki and Bill Whittaker, two expats from Plymouth, Massachusetts, NB’s Wicked Bah Pizza was born out of the couple’s desire to bring their beloved hometown pizza style to New Braunfels. Their restaurant, located on South Union Avenue, offered an authentic slice of New England, serving up a variety of pizzas that evoked the flavors of the East Coast. Despite the pizzeria’s success and the warm reception from the community, the Whittakers have made the difficult decision to close the business by the end of April 2025.
In a heartfelt Facebook post shared on April 14, the couple explained that the closure was not due to financial struggles or lack of success, but because they had been presented with an unexpected opportunity. “We were afforded an opportunity that we weren’t expecting so soon, and have made a decision to close the restaurant by the end of April,” the post read. The Whittakers assured their customers that this was not the end of NB’s Wicked Bah Pizza, but rather an exciting new chapter for the business. “This is not the end of NB’s Wicked Bah Pizza, it’s an opportunity to do things a bit differently,” they shared.
The announcement came as a surprise to many regulars, who had come to love the pizzeria’s unique offerings and the personal touch the Whittakers brought to their restaurant. The closure marks the end of an era for the couple, who relocated to New Braunfels to bring a piece of their hometown to Texas. The pair had invested countless hours into the pizzeria, from perfecting recipes to building relationships with customers, and their passion for the business had earned them a loyal following in the community.
When MySA reached out to NB’s Wicked Bah Pizza for more details about the “new opportunity” mentioned in their post, the pizzeria declined to offer specifics but assured that further updates would be shared through their social media channels in the coming weeks. Fans of the restaurant are eagerly awaiting more information on what the future holds for NB’s Wicked Bah Pizza, as the Whittakers have made it clear that they plan to continue their journey in some form, though the exact details remain under wraps for now.
Despite the bittersweet news, the Whittakers’ announcement reflects their optimism for the future and their dedication to exploring new possibilities. Their message left a sense of hope for those who had supported the restaurant over the past two and a half years, knowing that while the current location is closing, the spirit of NB’s Wicked Bah Pizza will live on in a new form.
The closure of NB’s Wicked Bah Pizza is a reminder of the dynamic nature of the restaurant industry, where opportunities and challenges can arise unexpectedly. It also highlights the resilience of entrepreneurs like the Whittakers, who remain committed to their vision even when faced with tough decisions.
As the final days of operation at the South Union Avenue location approach, loyal customers are encouraged to stop by and enjoy their favorite pizza one last time before the restaurant closes its doors. The Whittakers have expressed gratitude for the support they’ve received from the New Braunfels community and are excited to share their next steps with their fans in the near future.
