A sign for patrons, dated Dec. 16, states that they "have made the tough decision to close our doors for the next few months."

We are planning to relaunch this location with great enthusiasm, and we look forward to serving you again soon!We have a great passion for our community and neighborhood and aren't going anywhere. Brookfield
Sauce arrived here in 2018.
The pizzeria also has outposts on the Lower East Side (Allen at Rivington) ... plus Brookfield Place and Moynihan Train Hall.
What annoyed me about this place was they charged tax on top of the advertised price for a slice. Just factor the tax into the price and be done with it.
ReplyDeleteLOL @9:30 so does almost everywhere for everything. I don't like it either but it's normal for a lot of places.
ReplyDeleteThis place used to be good, but then changed their hours (and then changed their pizza as well apparently). They were only open thur-sun evenings/nights. The school across the street has several hundred students who would prob love a slice after pickup, or maybe a hungry parent picking up their kid at 5:30 from afterschool could grab dinner. If they'd actually been open they might not have had to close.
ReplyDeleteI wondered that too, 12:20. I walk past this street a lot and it is mostly darkened inside and closed. If I was craving a slice, I have to walk along first ave to find one. If I were a business owner of this, I'd be opening my doors during day and night to afford my rent, staff, and other expenses. Why would you close for at least three days and expect to turn a profit? Usually, when a place says they're going away for a few months, it is a good indcation they are closing for good but don't want to break the news.
ReplyDeleteThey had the best pizza in the neighborhood when they first opened. Then they flipped completely, the pizza suddenly tasted like it came from a chain and that was the end of them.
ReplyDeleteIf they come back, please bring back the original pizza, it was awesome
Reiterating what others have said, this used to be my go-to slice for years. Then, out of the blue, they changed everything on the menu and jacked up their prices. The staff was always incredibly friendly so I was bummed when I couldn’t justify going anymore. Hoping for the best!
ReplyDeleteEveryone is a business major
ReplyDeleteJust a small note: real Italians call it "gravy," not "sauce."
ReplyDeleteThey ruined themselves when they switched to these quesadilla thin slices that were a 90/10 ratio of sauce vs cheese, while raising their prices. Well done you business savants, well done. Meanwhile Iggys around the corner and east village pizza down the street continue to serve up real slices at fairer prices…no wonder this location went dark. You need a consultant for your re-opening strategy? Happy to help
ReplyDeleteStopped going when they jacked the price to $5/slice. Writing was on the wall. Too many other good options.
