The budget pizzeria at 131 Avenue A between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street quietly closed earlier this summer.
The narrow storefront, which offered $1.50 slices, hot dogs, and other quick eats, has remained shuttered in recent weeks.
More recently, a 14-day rent demand appeared on the gate, offering some insight into the economics of the tiny space.
According to the notice, the tenant, Maitre USA Corp. d/b/a Dollar Pizza, owed the landlord more than $26,000 in rent and other charges. The notice lists the monthly rent as $4,057.46.
The notice also includes additional charges, including water and late fees.
The shop started selling 99-cent slices opened in the summer of 2020.
Somewhere along the line, they raised their prices by 51 cents
