What happened on the show
Aponte's Pizzeria in Mason, Ohio received a sixth season makeover on the standard footing, two days and a renovation purse kept small by design. Wikipedia holds no summary, so the on camera specifics of Irvine's work are not detailed here. The pizzeria appears to still be going: a Facebook page describes active New Jersey style pizza operations, and a Yelp listing exists under the name Aponte's Pizzeria and Family Restaurant, though direct verification was thin enough that we mark it open only at low confidence. One sharp caution belongs on the record. The business's former domain, apontes.net, has been hijacked and now redirects to an overseas online gambling site, so it must never be linked from the entity page, a gotcha worth flagging clearly for anyone building the outbound links later.
After the cameras left
Aponte's appears to still be operating. Its Facebook page, seen via search snippet, describes active New Jersey-style pizza service, and a Yelp listing exists under the name Aponte's Pizzeria and Family Restaurant. Because a direct Yelp fetch was blocked and the evidence rests on snippets, we hold the open status at low confidence. One critical caution: the business's former domain apontes.net has been hijacked and now redirects to an online-gambling site, so that address should never be linked; the Facebook and Yelp listings are the safe references.
