Summary:

A rare opportunity to take over a beautifully designed and professionally built-out restaurant for a fraction of the original investment.

Currently specializing in wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas along with a full menu of delicious appetizers, salads, calzones, paninis, fresh pasta dishes, seafood entrees and decadent Italian desserts. Plus, kids’ menu.

Full-service restaurant with a full bar. Open for both lunch and dinner 5 days a week. Dine-in (reservations accepted), takeout and 3rd party delivery, plus catering. Online ordering also available.

Featuring a beautiful high-end build-out with a warm inviting atmosphere. Its interior boasts expansive windows, high ceilings, exposed brick, stunning light fixtures, gorgeous woodwork, impressive tilework, cool concrete floors and other custom details. As well as a fully-stocked bar with espresso machine and open pizza station showcasing its incredible wood-fired pizza oven, plus ample seating both inside and out on its patio. In addition to a prep area and a fully equipped commercial kitchen.

Well established over 9 years. Independent - no royalty, advertising or transfer fees. Family owned and operated. Turnkey - fully operational with all recipes and furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) included. And fully functional with all processes and systems in place.
