Joe and Pat's signage arrives on 1st Avenue (above the Lanza's)



Joe and Pat's, the Staten Island-based pizzeria, looks ever-so-close to opening... the signage recently arrived here on First Avenue between 10th Street and 11th Street.

The sign for Lanza's, the previous tenant here, remains intact above the doorway. And Jeremiah Moss recently noted that Lanza's antique murals seem to have survived the gut renovation.

Speaking of renovations, it has seemingly taken awhile to get the space in Joe-and-Pat's shape. (The coming soon sign arrived in April 2017.)

This location of Joe and Pat's, whose first branch opened on Staten Island in 1960, will serve their signature thin-crust pies as well as a variety of pastas and salads. No word on when they may open.

Lanza's closed for good back in July 2016. The Italian restaurant had been in the space since 1904.

They’re now breaking DF Mavens record for the longest Coming Soon signage of all time.

I wonder what happened to the neon sign?

What would be wrong that they are working on this space for almost 18 months?

Trixie - The neon sign was unsafe and was removed many years ago.

@ Anon 8:33 AM Had you ever been in there? That place was in desperate condition. They probably had to bring it up to code in every sq ft.

they swore that it is going to be this month (march ) when Joe and Pat's open
