Openings: Ignazio's Pizza in DUMBO
Brooklyn real estate blog Brownstoner gets a snap of soon-to-open Ignazio's Pizza (above) at 4 Water Street in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn. The blogs are already billing this as a "pizza war," given that Grimaldi's is within spitting distance, but we'll leave speculation on the shelf in favor of good old fashioned taste-testing once the new joint opens.
The owner is Louis Timero, born and raised in Bensonhurst but who moved to Hartford, Connecticut, to open the Luna Pizza mini chain in and around that city. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle ran a nice little profile on him in August of last year.
