Openings: Five New Pizza Joints for Your Amusement

Posted by Adam Kuban, July 9, 2007 at 10:10 PM

A round-up in New York magazine lists. Stop me if think that you've heard this one before:

Solo Pizza

Address: 27 Avenue B, New York NY 10009 (East Village, near 3rd Street)
Phone: 212-420-7656

Chickie Pig’s

Address: 121 Ludlow Street, New York NY 10002 (LES, near Rivington)
Phone: 212-254-9972
URL: chickiepigs.com
With a name like Chickie Pig's, this place better be damn good.

Mosco Pizza

Address: 105 1/2 Mosco Street, New York NY 10013
Phone: 212-227-9150
Not for Tourists notes: "Good pizza in New York is pretty run-of-the-mill. You can get it anywhere. Anywhere, that is, except Chinatown. I’m not talking about the new Chinatown (i.e. Little Italy). I’m talking about East Broadway and Doyers Street, where pizza is anathema. Thankfully, Mosco Pizza opened up on (you got it) Mosco Street, much to the satisfaction of Asian-cuisine-weary NFT office workers. The pies are good, and they sell slices for two bucks each."

Oven

Address: 60C Henry Street, Brooklyn NY 11201 (Brooklyn Heights, b/n Orange and Cranberry streets)
Phone: 718-468-6836

La Nonna Pizzeria Trattoria Paninoteca

Address: 237 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11211 (Williamsburg, near North 4th Street)
Phone: 718-302-5353

Pretty funny that they "review" Solo. I walk past there almost every day, and Solo is most definitely not open yet!

Yeah, though if you read closely, they didn't really review it. They only mentioned what would be served there with no judgment on how well it was executed -- information that could have gotten by looking at a menu (if one's posted) or calling the owner.

You're quite right about that, but you must admit that listing it as "recently opened" was perhaps a bit misleading.

Barbara Hanson at 11:20AM on 07/11/07

That is indeed true, BaHa!

Adam Kuban at 12:24PM on 07/11/07

Passed by today and it was, in fact open, which it wasn't yesterday, at least when I passed by. I've got a menu--would you like me to scan it along?

Barbara Hanson at 5:22PM on 07/11/07

BaHa: If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to see a scan of that menu! Thanks.

Adam Kuban at 5:31PM on 07/11/07

Lame question, Adam: How do I send a scan to the website? Or should I send it to your email and, if so, what is it? Of course, no trouble at all, as soon as I know how to do it!

Barbara Hanson at 11:43PM on 07/11/07

Not a lame question, BaHa. At this point, you'd have to send it to me at adam@sliceny.com
