Openings: Lollo Ristorante Pizzeria & Bar on Avenue B

Lollo Ristorante Pizzeria & Bar is now in service at 27 Avenue B between Second Street and Third Street. 

As we first reported in April, a group of partners originally from Northern Italy are behind the new establishment, serving a variety of salads, pasta dishes and pizzas. 

You can find a copy of the menu and hours of operation here. (If you're on Instagram, they have an account here.)

Alcohol is on the way, as CB3 approved a full liquor license for the space in July. According to the meeting minutes (link), several people spoke out against the application as Lollo sits in a heavy weekend-day-drinking corridor.  

The space was previously home to Solo Pizza, which closed following a rent hike in September 2022 after 15 years in business. (And, because someone will mention it, Solo just had a restaurant wine license.)

Hello Lollo: Pizzeria signage alert at 27 Avenue B

Signage went up late last week for Lollo, the incoming restaurant-pizzeria at 27 Avenue B between Second Street and Third Street. 

As we first reported in April, a group of partners originally from Northern Italy are behind the new establishment, serving a variety of pasta dishes as well as brick-oven pizzas. (BTW: Lollo is short for Lorenzo, the chef and one of the partners.) 

No word just yet on an opening date. If you're on Instagram, they have a placeholder account here.

The space was previously home to Solo Pizza, which closed following a rent hike in September 2022 after 15 years in business.

As multiple readers have pointed out, this is a pretty pizza-heavy corridor now between Third Street and down Clinton... last week, we first reported about the new venture from Luigi Iasilli, owner of the well-liked Max restaurant, who's opening Potenza Centrale at 38 Avenue B... and Luzzo's made a May 2022 debut at 15 Avenue B.

Gut renovations are underway inside the former Solo Pizza space on Avenue B between Second Street and Third Street. 

A group of partners originally from Northern Italy are behind the new establishment, Lollo Italian Restaurant. (Lollo is short for Lorenzo, the chef and one of the partners.) 

They are several months out from the opening. 

Solo closed last September for undisclosed reasons after 15 years in business.
