The Bank Vault closed at the beginning of the summer, but it will not be empty for long.

Pieology, a casual pizza chain, has started construction on the building and hopes to open in early September, according to Joshua McBride, director of operations for Segovia Aslan Enterprises.

“We are thrilled to bring the unique Pieology experience to the Auburn community and we hope to inspire our guests to express their culinary creativity and build their perfect pizza without limitations, for one simple price,” McBride said in a press release.

McBride said that the restaurant will have seating for 150 people and will also have a meeting room that can be rented out for events or meetings. It will be the biggest Pieology in the nation, according to McBride.

According to a press release, Pieology is “where pizza lovers go to create custom pizzas in endless flavor combinations.”

Before opening Pieology, there will be improvements to the building such as adding a new air conditioner and fire sprinklers. They are, however, trying to maintain the historical nature of the building, according to McBride.

Madeline Johnson, senior in fitness conditioning and performance, said there are already plenty of pizza restaurants in Auburn.

"I think we have a lot of pizza places in Auburn and I think they could have picked something that would have given downtown a little more variety," Johnson said.

Others are still disappointed The Bank Vault is no longer open.

"It kind of stinks that the Vault is closing down," said Catherine Montz, sophomore in nursing. 

However, Montz said she is excited about the idea of a pizza chain.

There are Pieology locations throughout the United States, and there is currently a Pieology in Huntsville and another one under construction in Birmingham.
