“It’s time to say goodbye,” After more than 30 years in operation, Hap’s Pit Barbecue is closing permanently

After more than three decades of serving the Phoenix community, Hap’s Pit Barbecue is closing its doors this July, marking the end of a beloved local institution. The eatery, which began with a simple trailer smoker in the 1990s, has been a staple near 48th and Washington streets since 2001.
