Openings: Ops on 2nd Avenue

Ops debuted its East Village outpost in late June at 176 Second Ave. between 11th Street and 12th Street. (We first mentioned this pending arrival last September.) 

Ops introduced its leavened sourdough pies in Bushwick back in 2016 and became "a real-deal pizza destination." (Ownership is also behind the pizzeria Leo in Williamsburg.) 

According to Resy, Numero 28, the previous tenant here, left behind its built-in wood-fire oven, which is being put to good use. Specials here include a square-cut tavern-style pizza. (Grub Street had a feature on the business last month.) 

Ops, a full-service restaurant with a 60-seat dining room (plus a bar), is open Sunday through Thursday from 5 to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 5 to midnight.
