Slices have returned to the Il Mattone space on East Houston near Eldridge ... Mike Turkowitz, aka @hiphopmike, an on-air personality at Hot 97, has taken over the pizzeria ... and is running it as the Pizza Spot.
He opened this past Thursday, and is serving up some nice-looking slices ... homemade cookies are in the works too...
The well-regarded Il Mattone first opened in Tribeca in 1992. This outpost debuted in May 2019 ... and had not reopened since the PAUSE went into effect back in March.
