Your Stories Q&A: Uncle Chubby's in Clay reopening after being closed for 18 months
CLAY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — You ask, we answer!
We have an update on the Q&A about what's next for the closed Uncle Chubby's Bar and Grill.
Since it shuttered in November of 2023, viewers have been asking, what's next for the once popular pizza spot off Caughdenoy Road, near 481.
It turns out, Uncle Chubby's is next.
Owner Val Wilkins said the plan to sell the building to an out-of-state company fell through. That company was supposed to open another restaurant where Uncle Chubby's operated for 25 years.
With the sale off the table, Wilkins said the family decided to reopen to its loyal customers who flocked there for the pizza and wings.
The family said that when they closed in 2023, it wasn't due to a lack of customers. They just thought it was time to do something else.
The grand reopening was Monday, May 12.
Wilkins said the bar and grill will only be open evenings until they can hire enough staff to offer lunch as well.
The same popular menu is back, with a few new items.
At one time, there were three Chubby's restaurants in CNY. The original one was on Wolf Street in Syracuse. Central Square and Clay were the other locations.
