The Upper West Side location has also been under a sidewalk shed for the last ten years, Google Maps imagery shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny chance you stay open?\u201d the Rag asked again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. No. No,\u201d the manager responded.<\/p>\n<p>In the past week, the Rag received multiple tips from locals who said that employees had mentioned during recent dining experiences that the Upper West Side pizza shop would be closing at either the end of December or in January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re devastated!\u201d Erin Gilbert wrote in an email about the impending closure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/patsyspizzeria.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Patsy\u2019s Upper West Side outpost<\/a> has served customers for the last 28 years on West 74th Street.
