Open Fire Wood Burning Pizza is closed
If you have a dream of opening your own restaurant, Block & Company’s Max Kosoglad has a nice little space for you: 16,000 square feet, actually, at 3951 Broadway. Until last month, this building was occupied by Open Fire Wood Burning Pizza and the Kiosk Gallery. The restaurant’s final day was announced on the restaurant’s Facebook page July 30.
The post stated: “We started with $100 in the drawer, put up a hell of a fight and survived longer than a lot of startup restaurants would.”
“The existing restaurant space is currently 6,000 square feet ,” Kosoglad says, “but can be divided. There’s quite a bit of restaurant equipment still in there.”
Another restaurant closed, just north of the pizza venue, earlier in the year: Little Egypt Cafe, at 3927 Broadway. That space isn’t for lease; Sinbad’s Hookah Bar at 3929 Broadway is reportedly taking over the space formerly occupied by several Middle Eastern restaurants, including the Olive Cafe.
Three blocks north, another stretch of Broadway is having a restaurant renaissance with iPho Tower, at 3623 Broadway, serving banh mi sandwiches and steaming bowls of pho until well after midnight. The Broadway Jazz Club, at 3601 Broadway, has veteran chef Jack August in the kitchen, and FooDoo, at 3605 Broadway, sells healthy dishes in the former Mr. Good Chicken space.
