New shop from Scarr’s and L’Industrie alum to bring old-school NYC slices to the East Village

The former home of Il Gusto Pizza and Proto’s Pizza at 50 Second Ave. is getting a new tenant — and a fresh take on classic New York slices. 

Andrea's Pizza, set to open in the weeks ahead here between Second Street and Third Street, is the first solo venture from chef and owner Andrea Kenuti, a veteran of Scarr's Pizza on Orchard Street, where he worked for seven years, and L'Industrie in the West Village. 

"I'm going for a classic vibe," he said, describing the shop's interior plans — retro booths, Tiffany-style lamps, and a menu centered on traditional NY-style pizza made with organic, carefully sourced ingredients.
Daily hours will be noon to midnight, Friday and Saturday, until 2 a.m. 

Soft drinks only, no beer and wine, although Kenuti doesn't rule it out for the future. 

"I just want to get the place open as soon as possible, and I'm going to be here every day," he said. 

New signage is on the way, and Kenuti shared a preview of the logo...
A website is in the works.

    Is going to be old-school or faux old-school? Show me the prices, the selection and the social media, and then we can decide.
