Well, it looks like the combo of pizza and bubble tea couldn’t quite make it stick on Robson Street.
Tiko Pizza has abruptly closed its doors, and official notices posted on the window reveal a lease termination by the landlord.
The spot opened back in May 2024 after facing a lengthy six-month delay due to renovation and permitting hurdles.
They aimed to win over downtown diners with authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas (meat, veggie, even seafood options) alongside a full menu of bubble tea drinks like fruit teas, slushes, and milk teas.
Online reviews seemed generally positive, with customers often praising the individual slices and service.
However, the journey has come to an end.
We saw notices posted prominently on the storefront that tell a sad story.
A “Notice of Termination” dated April 4, 2025, from the landlord, Kwan Development Ltd., states the lease was terminated effective immediately due to the tenant defaulting on obligations mentioned in a previous notice from March 13, 2025 – specifically citing failure to pay Additional Rent.
A subsequent “Notice To Quit” dated April 11, 2025, reiterates the lease termination (effective April 4th) and requires the tenant and any other occupants to vacate the premises immediately.
Adding another layer, a notice from Accurate Effective Bailiffs Ltd., dated April 15th, indicates they are abandoning the Rent Distress action from February 5th, 2025, and releasing any seized goods back to the tenant.
This suggests financial troubles had been brewing for some time.
It’s a swift and unfortunate end for the pizzeria.
Tiko Pizza now joins the growing list of recent downtown Vancouver closures, including spots like Meinhardt Pacific Centre, Wabukuro in International Village, Yaletown Glory Juice, and The Salt Tasting Room.
