Rumors: 2 Bros. Pizza is opening another East Village location


BaoBQ closed here on First Avenue between East 13th Street and East 14th Street in August. The for rent signs are down... and someone put up black trashbags on the windows...

We've from several different tipsters now that a 2 Bros. Pizza will take over this space... there hasn't been any official confirmation on this from 2 Bros., who continue to expand in the city... If this is true, then this could be one more reason why Vinny Vincenz Pizza close by on First Avenue is now selling a $1 slice, as noted yesterday.

Of course, there's already a lot of cheap pizza right around here, from Papa John's and Joey Pepperoni across the street to the other Joey Pepperoni's and 7-Eleven around the way on East 14th Street...

The first 2 Bros. opened on St. Mark's Place in 2008.

There is ANOTHER rumor that once Duane Reade moves out of their 14th St. spot between 1 & 2 that it’s going to be replaced by a Papa John's inside of a Joey Pepperoni inside of a Krust inside of a 2 Bros. It’s going to be named Triangles Cubed. There’s definitely potential here (obviously!)

In my hellish dystopian vision of the NYC of the future, the classic pizzerias like Lombardi's and John's will be driven to the brink of oblivion, and forced to hang out their own shingles that read "Slice $1, Two slices + soda $2.75" :(
