CARMELLA’S PIZZA PARLOR SIGN WENT UP

Big visual progress at 110 Market Ave... the signage for Carmella’s Pizza Parlor is officially going up.

If you’ve been watching this one, interior construction has been moving steadily, and now it’s starting to look like a real-deal pizza spot from the outside too. Owner Don Kretz (who also owns 28 Songs next door) is still targeting a mid-March soft opening, pending the city’s certificate of occupancy.

Carmella’s will bring pizza from the chef behind Z’s Pizza, plus a small beer and wine bar and an arcade area, giving the north side a true vintage style, family-friendly hangout.

It’s happening. More updates soon. See more pics here.
