NWe tried everything until the last moment to save the pizzeria,” regrets Cyril Auffret, when announcing the closure of La main à la pâte, the pizzeria he runs in Trégunc (Finistère). It was on Facebook that the Breton restaurateur shared the news with his approximately 4,000 subscribers, reports Voix du Nord. In a long text, the one who could not make a video “the emotion is so strong”, highlighted “problems with the distributors”.
World champion ten days ago
“Today we can say that the distributors have killed us! Without wanting to go into details, the pizzeria is no longer able to compensate for the costs for five distributors who have not worked at all since August and who have been working every other day since September last year,” he explains.
Cyril Auffret assures us that it was a “losing battle”. “This pizzeria will no longer exist for us and we will just keep beautiful memories of it. »
He also indicates that two weeks ago, when he left for Menton for the world championship of pizza makers, he knew that he was going to have to close his pizzeria. That didn’t stop him from winning first prize in a sweet pizza, in a duo with a starred restaurateur.
In the comments, many customers gave him their support. “A world champion can only bounce back and we are convinced that this is a very bad time and that we will see each other again,” assures one of them. Some even suggested launching an online fundraiser to try to save the restaurant.
