A beloved Hoboken pizzeria, Torna’s, is set to close its doors on July 24, 2025, after serving the community for over 60 years. This closure has surprised many locals who cherish the family-owned establishment known for its delicious Sicilian slices. While Torna’s will continue to operate until the closing date, a new cafe, Caña Coffee + Bakery, is preparing to take over the location. This change reflects a broader trend of family-run businesses in Hoboken facing challenges.
• Torna’s Pizzeria announced its closure, citing management difficulties.
• The pizzeria has been a community staple since 1960, creating lasting memories for customers.
• Caña Coffee + Bakery, a women- and Latina-owned business, will replace Torna’s after it closes.
• This closure follows the recent shutdown of two other long-standing Hoboken businesses.
The closure of Torna’s is significant as it highlights the struggles of traditional businesses in urban areas. As Hoboken evolves, the loss of such establishments raises concerns about the future of family-owned venues. The arrival of Caña Coffee + Bakery brings hope for new community connections, but it also marks the end of an era for loyal patrons of Torna’s.
