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.

Updated: There's an auction here today at 2 p.m.

Solo Pizza has closed as of Monday at 27 Avenue B between Second Street and Third Street. 

There's a pop-up message on the pizzeria's website...

Ownership didn't cite any reasons for the closure.

The pizzeria opened in 2007 and served up some solid slices... not to mention an eggplant parm hero. They will be missed.
