Pizzeria employees, who declined to be identified, said the expansion will give the restaurant more tables and a brand new party room to cater to private events.
Construction workers reported that the pizzeria will need to temporarily close, likely from Monday to Thursday of next week, so the wall between it's existing space and the adjacent one can be safely knocked down.
