Updated: This item has been withdrawn from this month's agenda.
The owners of the popular Williamsburg Pizza have designs on opening an outpost at 226 E. 14th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.
And they're on this month's CB3-SLA docket for a beer-wine license...
A pizzeria in this spot makes sense, as the most recent tenant was the rather blah Krust, which closed in January after seven years at the address.
I haven't confirmed this yet, but it looks as if the WP team will be taking the small vacant space next door as well. The questionnaire at the CB3 website shows 9 tables here seating 24 people, plus counter space for eight along the east-facing wall. (Krust wasn't all that large.)
The proposed hours are 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. during the week, with extended hours Thursday through Saturday night.
If all goes well, then this will make the latest Williamsburg Pizza location... joining the original out on Union Avenue and the one on Broome Street on the LES. (Chef/owner Nino Coniglio also makes pizza at 310 Bowery.)
The pizzeria has plenty of fans (for example). And a few years back New York magazine gave them the Best Slice Joint nod.
Williamsburg Pizza is one of the applicants to appear before CB3's SLA committee this coming Monday. Part two of the October SLA committee meeting takes place at the Public Hotel, 17th Floor, Sophia Room, 215 Chrystie St. between Houston and Stanton. The festivities start at 6:30.

Hmm.Another 4/slice place? Maybe 6 dollars/slice? No one needs this.
And I was just thinking 14th street needed another pizza place.
Their pizza is top notch and I must contradict 8:42 AM to say that I need this!
they are infamous in our house for delivering one of the two pies in our lifetimes that have been inedible. just terrible. i don't get the hype, nor am i willing to try them again.
11:10...You NEED a life
That pizza place called "Sauce" should collaborate with the places called "Krust" and "Muzzarella". That sounds tasty.
12:55 -- right back at you.
There are two things in life that you can never have enough of: sex and pizza. Keep the neighborhood pizza spots coming. If you haven't tried Sauce yet, it is HANDS-DOWN the best slice in the city (note I said "slice" not "pie"). An instant classic, they know what they're doing.
Since it's on 14th street close to where the L train reconstruction is, have a nice 4 buck slice with asbestos and silica dust toppings
