Pizza Beach, Hell Square’s latest nightlife spot, opens for business tonight. Tom and Anthony Martignetti have brought a branch of their Upper East Side restaurant downtown to 167 Orchard St. (At Stanton Street). It’s across the street from Hair of the Dog and beloved LES pizza joint Rosario’s.
A plain margherita pie will cost you $15 or you can try a few more inventive options such as: roast pear and taleggio ($17), lamb marquez with Oaxaca cheese ($20) or pineapple and speck ($20). Entrees include dishes like grilled black seabass ($26), fish tacos ($18) and papperdelle with pork ragu ($19). There’s a full cocktail menu.
Pizza Beach is operating out of the space formerly occupied by The Derby and Tiny Fork.
Thank God! Any part owner with the name Martignetti makes me feel we have a chance to come back.. I am so Happy. Will be there tonight. Ciao ;)
