To our Saucy Noodle friends and family,
We wanted to start out this letter by thanking you for all of the love you have shown our little restaurant over the course of the last several decades. For 57 years, we have had the privilege of sharing with you our family history, recipes, and oversized meatballs, and we are so grateful to have had this opportunity to cement ourselves as a part of Denver’s history, while meeting so many wonderful people along the way. Many of you have become lifelong friends, and we feel truly honored to have been a part of your lives, whether you dined with us for one meal before a Pioneers game or made Saturday Night Pie a part of your weekly routine.
It is with great sadness that we announce to you today that on Sunday, August 14, 2022, our doors will be closing. Although we have been anticipating this day for some time, we had hoped to continue operations until the end of summer. Unfortunately, we have been unexpectedly evicted by our landlord, and have no choice but to make this difficult decision.
Though it is incredibly difficult to say goodbye, we feel so fortunate that you have helped us to keep Sam’s legacy alive and continued to support us for so many years. Thank you for helping us rebuild when we lost everything in the fire of April 2000. Thank you for your loyal support as we made adjustments to our services during the pandemic. Thank you for being our test subjects when Nathan experiments in the kitchen, for all of the breadsticks and Sawyer Salads eaten, and for telling your friends who don’t like garlic to go home. We will never forget the many thousands of memories that have been made here, and we are endlessly grateful to have shared them with you.
While these circumstances are out of our control, we will not let them stop us from going out on a high note. For the next two weeks, we invite you to join us in celebrating the Saucy Noodle from 4 PM until the party’s over as we serve a special menu that highlights our most delicious achievements over the last six decades.
This will be a very difficult transition, and though we have not yet determined what our next steps will be, we leave you with a promise that the Saucy Noodle legacy will be carried on wherever our journey leads us next.
Thank you for being a part of our family, Denver.
With love and lots of garlic,
Erin, Nathan, Sawyer, and Ayine Markham
