Concern for Muzzarella Pizza

Several readers have asked about Muzzarella Pizza on Avenue A between 13th Street and 14th Street. 

The pizzeria has not been open since the early days of the summer ... this after a brief reopening coming out of the PAUSE. There's nothing on the gate or the Muzzarella social media properties mentioning a closure — temporary or permanent. (The last Instagram post is from June 27.) The phone number sends callers to a voice mailbox that has not been set up...

Mozzarella, which serves a tasty meatball hero among other non-pizza items, opened in 1991.

Reopenings: Muzzarella Pizza, 787 Coffee

The latest establishments back open for takeout and delivery: Muzzarella Pizza at 221 Avenue A between 13th Street and 14th Street with to-go service at the front door ... and 787 Coffee at 113 Seventh St. just west of Avenue A is back with take-out carry and pastries...



Other recent reopenings from the tipline: M & J Asian Cuisine at 600 E. 14th St. at Avenue B is available for takeout from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. ... and the Starbucks at Astor Place returned back on Monday.
