Did some poking. Apparently they haven't been paying their rent, for like, a YEAR. wow. I figured Loyola was tearing down more buildings, but that... I'm guessing if the one here was in that much trouble, the one in Evanston, with a lot more close competition for eaters, was suffering as well.
I remember the Carmen's being in the triangle building. It was the 1st "Chicago style" pizza I had, too. Unfortunately, I was completely spoiled by the family's favorite pizza place in Elkhart. The butter flavored crust and sweet sauce tasted strange and not at all like the spicy sauce I was used to. I grew to like it more, later, but Volcano's St. Louis style pizza will always be my favorite.
Still. It's sad to see them gone. I'm not thrilled with the local alternatives.
