Slice After Slice
Remember all the hullabaloo a couple weeks ago about the closing of Joe's Pizza's corner location on Bleecker and Carmine in the West Village? Remember how one longtime patron, Bill Gutering, who had been going to Joe's since age 13, was quoted in the New York Post as saying, "I'm going to go out of my mind if this is another Starbucks or Blockbuster"?
Mr. Gutering can keep his wits about him. We at Slice have word that the location will be home not to a megagiant coffee chain or subpar video store but to another pizzeria. From an e-mail to us from Abitino's Pizza:
I would like to inform you that Abitino's will be opening up on the corner of Carmine and Bleeker Street, in the spot formerly known as Joe's Pizza. We anticipate the grand opening will take place in late January 2005.
