There have been rumors circling for a year that Madame K’s Pizza Bistro (5327 Ballard Ave. NW) was closing.

Now the Madame makes the official announcement on the restaurant’s Facebook page:

Hi Everyone! Well, here goes! This is the official announcement that Madame K’s will be starting the count down to closing on October 28, 2010. I know, I know, you heard this last year, but it actually is coming from the Madame’s own typing mouth.

Thank you Alyson for the tip!
