What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food's Casey Webb-era St. Louis-area episode (S6E4, aired December 11, 2017) also featured Schiappa's, a family-run Italian restaurant and pizzeria in Lebanon, Illinois, east of St. Louis. Background coverage of the restaurant describes it as founded in 1979, built around family recipes brought from Italy and the East Coast, and known for oversized pizza eating challenges - a 29-inch pizza for two or a 39-inch pizza for three, to be finished within 30 minutes. A Yelp listing for the Lebanon location, updated April 2026, marks the business as permanently closed at its 402 South Madison Street address; the closure has not yet been independently confirmed through a second source, and the listing does not specify when service ended. A separate Schiappa's location in nearby O'Fallon, Illinois, is listed as closed as well, per a different Yelp page for that address.
