EV Grieve Eatery Etc.: Gruppo moving news; Maltida's new outpost

A reader sends along a photo of the chalkboard outside Gruppo on Avenue B ... As noted earlier, the pizzeria will be moving into the former Layalay space, the onetime B&T hookah hotspot at 98 Avenue B, from its current home at 186 Avenue B .. per the sign, this will happen in the "late fall."

And Matilda is now serving tapas at La Zarza on First Avenue (as of last night) ... However, the Maltida folks said that they will continue to serve their Tuscan-Mexican cuisine from their main outpost on East 11th Street near Avenue C...

    They have rolls and a few larger loafs, and pastries (Italian-Chinese fusion?). Bread was good, doughnuts not so much. I liked the sales clerk, who warned me "it's $4!" when I chose a loaf. He obviously expected me to reconsider.

    EVG, do you have to keep using the term "B&T hookah hotspot"??? It gives me the chills.

    People like Gruppo right? I have never had it, I usually get sidetracked to Gnocco if I am walking that way looking for pizza.

    Gruppo is nice everyday kind of pizza, good crust, very thin. Good for those ppl who don't want obnoxious foodie nonsense or else cheap gummy shit on a shingle.
