Popular Portland Restaurant Moving to Larger Location in Deering Center

Malone Commercial Brokers is pleased to announce the sale of 476 Stevens Avenue in Portland to Ryan Carey, founder of Noble Barbecue. Mike Anderson of Malone Commercial Brokers, Justin Lamontagne and Bryan Plourde of The Dunham Group brokered the transaction.

Noble Barbecue will rebrand as Noble Pizzeria & Barbecue at their new location. The spacious 4,091 square foot facility will feature a full dining room, an 18-seat bar, and a patio with seating for up to 50 guests. Noble’s famous barbecue will remain on the menu alongside their new selection of coal-fired pizzas. The restaurant will also debut a tempting array of milkshakes.

Noble founder Ryan Carey hopes to benefit the surrounding community and mentioned that Deering Center has been without a restaurant for over a year and having a gathering space for people to create memories is important for a community.

Carey expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, “Noble Pizzeria & Barbecue is the culmination of my team’s culinary passions. We’re thrilled to bring our craft barbecue and wood-fired pizzas together under one roof in this incredible new space.”

A deal like this always requires a collaborative effort. Carey praised Mike Anderson for his role in the deal stating, “Mike was phenomenal. He represented the seller and was very prompt and professional with all questions.”

Mike Anderson of Malone Commercial Brokers, who represented the seller in the transaction, commented: “476 Stevens Ave was shown to numerous restaurateurs both local and from away over the past year and a half. I’m glad to have helped facilitate yet another local Maine business expand and believe Noble will do exceedingly well in Deering Center. It was a pleasure working with Ryan Carey and his team as well as Justin Lamontagne and Bryan Plourde from The Dunham Group.”

The new Noble Pizzeria & Barbecue location is scheduled to open in July 2024, with the original Noble Barbecue on Forest Avenue remaining open until that time.
