WYOMING — The iconic and legendary Victory Pig Pizza & Barbecue has been demolished.
Crews knocked down the building at 905 Wyoming Ave. on Sunday night.
A few months ago, Crossin Real Estate listed the business at 905 Wyoming Ave. for sale for $799,000.
The business sold within days, said real estate agent Ken Bond.
“It went super quick,” Bond said, “It’s a prime location.”
The sale price was not immediately released.

Wyoming Mayor Joe Dominick said it was a bittersweet day for the borough.
“I know seeing the old Victory Pig come down has stirred up a lot of emotions, and many of us have fond memories of the place. After speaking with the new owners, though, it’s clear there was no alternative. The building had fallen into serious disrepair. I commend them for acting quickly and responsibly, scheduling the demolition overnight when traffic on Route 11 is light and pedestrians are kept safe,” Dominick said. “I’m looking forward to their vision for the property. Wyoming has come a long way over the past eight years, and I’m excited for the future.”
Jim Mirabelli, founder of NEPA Pizza Review based out of Clark Summit, said it was the end of an era with Victory Pig being demolished.
”When the property was originally announced for sale, I sincerely hoped someone would step up, take over the landmark, and continue the pan fried Sicilian pizza tradition. When the building’s contents, including the fabled steel pans that the pizzas were baked in, were sold off, my hope dwindled that the business as we knew it would continue,” Mirabelli said.”To see that unique and historic building being razed seems to solidify the end of an era for one of NEPA’s most consequential and beloved pizza institutions. While the building may be gone, I remain hopeful that the Victory Pig name, its pizza, and the traditions that made it so special to generations of families in our area will somehow live on.”
