No Fork bringing Balkan-inspired sandwiches and pizza to Avenue A

No Fork, a quick-serve sandwich shop located in the Bronx's Little Italy, is opening an East Village outpost. 

The owners of the three-plus-year-old business — best friends Artir Hyseni and Veton Sinani from Kosovo — announced in recent weeks that they will open a second location at 131 Avenue A between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street this fall.

The house specialty is the "Famous No Fork Sandwich," which features layers of prosciutto, melted mozzarella and house-made sauce.

 

They also serve a variety of sandwiches, pizza and Balkan-inspired dishes. (As the name implies, no forks are allowed to eat these items). Find a menu here. 

Javier Zuñiga and Jesse Merchant Zuñiga, owners of the previous tenant, Bad Habit, closed their ice cream shop in July to move to the West Coast to start a family.
