Napa Flats Wood-Fired Kitchen closed its location Aug. 1 within the Trails at 620 shopping center at 8300 N. RM 620, Austin. The California-influenced Italian restaurant first opened in the Greater Austin area five years ago and offered wood-fired pizza, cocktails and other dishes. According to a statement made on the company’s Facebook page, business drastically declined due to the coronavirus and reduced operating capacity. The closure will not impact the company’s additional locations in College Station and Oklahoma. The location’s phone number is no longer in service. www.napaflats.com
