Openings: Andrea's Pizza on 2nd Avenue

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy 

Andrea's Pizza debuted at 50 Second Ave. late last week. 

Signage hasn't arrived yet here between Second Street and Third Street, though owner Andrea Kenuti hopes it will be here soon. (Ditto for delivery service.) 

As we previously reported, this is the first solo venture for Kenuti, a veteran of Scarr's Pizza on Orchard Street, where he worked for seven years, and L'Industrie in the West Village.

As for the pizza...
I tried a classic slice and it was great — thin crust with a hint of char, mildly sweet tomato sauce, and perfectly salty, delicious cheese. I'm no food critic, but I can tell you it hit the spot.
There are several booths inside for dining in (and a handful of tables outside).
Andrea's is open from noon to midnight Monday through Thursday, noon to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and noon to 11 p.m. on Sunday. 

There is no website yet, although an Instagram account is available.

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

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy 

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.
