Last month we noted that Va Bene Pizza at 201 Clinton Street (East Broadway) had closed. Now comes word that a new restaurant will be opening in this spot. “Cowboy Pizza” is expected to open around the middle of next month. It’ll be run by Jamie Rogers and Lisa Fischoff, who already operate “Pushcart Coffee,” around the corner at 221 East Broadway. They have two partners in the new venture, Aaron Stoquert and Sarah Trapido. We’re told they’ll be serving “good old fashioned New York pizza” as well as some specialty pies. We’ll let you know when we learn more.
These folks should do a gluten-free pie here. I’m not saying all the pies should be gluten free. That would be crazy. But offering up that kind of alternative would probably garner a loyal following from beyond the neighborhood.
