Falbo Bros. Pizzeria, 457 S. Gilbert St., is set to reopen with new management this weekend after being closed for nearly two weeks.

Andrew Ahrens and Adam Brantman will take over the Iowa City and Coralville locations of the restaurant. The Iowa City restaurant will continue to be leased from Apartments Near Campus.

“Our goal is to open as soon as possible,” Ahrens said. “We hope to be fully open by this weekend.”

The new owners will reach out to employees who worked at Falbos and try to bring them back. The new management will compensate for months when employees were allegedly not paid, Ahrens said.

“Everyone who has worked at Falbos will get paid,” he said.

“We understand that there has been press coverage and [various] allegations about employees not getting [paid],” he said. “We want to settle all that.”

Ahrens and Brantman are Iowa City natives and graduated from the University of Iowa in 2007, Ahrens said.

Ahrens has known the restaurant since he was young, and it is dear to him, he said.

Former owner Barry Golinvaux said in a previous interview that he was going through health issues that compromised his ability to run the restaurant.
