A group of partners originally from Northern Italy are behind the new establishment, Lollo Italian Restaurant. (Lollo is short for Lorenzo, the chef and one of the partners.)
They are several months out from the opening.
Solo closed last September for undisclosed reasons after 15 years in business.

lol another pizza place!? glad to see this won't be vacant for long but wow there is a lot of pizza between 3rd and Rivington!
And yet, I have people in my building ordering delivery from Domino’s! Why do people move to NYC, particularly the EV, just to continue their suburbia lifestyle- and then tell us to move to the suburbs if we don’t like puking drunks on the street?
Yes another pizza place, you’re in NYC? Complain about anything I swear

"Let em eat slop"
As someone who can't eat Domino's because of an intolerance, I'll tell ya: a Domino's craving is its own unique thing. You're not in the mood for pizza, you're in the mood for Domino's. It's like getting Wendy's/Burger King/McDonalds...you're not in the mood for a burger, you're in the mood for *that* specifically.
Solo had the best grandma slice I’ve ever had, still think about it
Hey, sometimes you want dominos and not pizza
@10:23 I'm with you.
I could also never understand those who live here and went to Papa John's.
Papa John's is disgusting, dominos not that much.
There's also a matter of price and affordability.
I concur. It's the Pavlov Effect
Quality not withstanding, chain is also cheaper (esp with coupon) and more reliable. I'm all for shopping local, but when the craving hits, you succumb
There’s also a new pizza place going in at the north end of Avenue B, I think in the former Subway space. The sign says “Saint Pizza” and they’ve been building it out for a while, but I haven’t seen anything about the menu or opening date.
Pavlov is conditioning, not an effect.
I have to say the sad part is that the pandemic and inflation are hurting the restaurant business.
