Totonno's Reopening: Friday? That's What We Hear

[Photograph: Adam Kuban] So, yeah. The Wednesday reopening? Didn't happen. Totonno's owner Lawrence Ciminieri says the weather KO'd him. But the latest bit of news we have to report in the anticipated Totonno's reopening is that the Coney Island pizzeria will be firing up tomorrow (Friday, February 12). All the items are in place, Ciminieri told Ed Levine by phone last night, and, Ciminieri says, someone from the mayor's office is going to be there at the reopening ceremony. As promised before, Ciminieri will be making the pies tomorrow....

Totonno's Coney Owner Says It Will Reopen in Two Weeks (and Definitely by New Year)

[Photograph: Adam Kuban] There was a blurb in the New York Post this morning about the impending Coney Island Totonno's reopening. Said paper said said pizzeria would pump up the jams within two weeks and that readers should call the restaurant for the exact date. Well, put down the phones and relax your dialing digits. You're not going to get a hard date from anyone there. I just got off the phone with Totonno's owner Lawrence Ciminieri, and he said it would be "ten days to two weeks. We're all ready to go, just waiting on the final red...

When Is Totonno's Opening? New Projected Date Is Late August

A number of you have been emailing and tweeting us (@slice), asking if we had any word on when Totonno's in Coney would be open again. (Last we heard, it was mid July.) Well, I just got off the phone with Totonno's owner Lawrence Cimineri, and he says we're looking at late August now. While rebuilding, they found some structural issues unrelated to the fire that they wanted to take care of while they already had the patient opened up, so to speak. "It's a very old building, you know how it is," Cimineri said. So there you go,...

When Is Totonno's Reopening? New Projected Date Is Mid July

Totonno's, as it used to look. Photograph from timkang on Flickr Lost City reports that the Coney Island Totonno's reopening has been moved back to mid July from the earlier June projection date.

Totonno's Coney Island Reopening Early June

Totonno's, as it used to look. Photograph from timkang on Flickr I've had a lot of you emailing me or asking me in person: When is Totonno's in Coney reopening? As you should know, there was a fire at the legendary coal-oven pizzeria on March 14. When last we talked to Totonno's owner Lawrence Ciminieri, he said he thought the place would reopen in a month's time—which would be around, oh, now. I just got off the phone with Ciminieri, and he tells me that the target reopen date is now early June. "It took four weeks just to...
