I Dream Of Pizza A Pizza Blog, Established In 2008
Bravo Pizza will be moving into the empty storefront on the corner of 14th Street and Irving Place. The pizza joint should have no trouble competing with Cafe Amore Pizza across the street, which makes some of the city’s least desirable pizza. As the first YELP review on the Cafe Amore page accurately states: If location is everything, then this place has it all. Unfortunately, tasty pizza is not in stock.
Until now, Union Square proper has lacked a quality pizza place. Sure, if you venture a few blocks over to the East Village there are plenty of great options. But sometimes, a five minute walk is just a bit too long when you’re stumbling to the subway at 3AM. Although Bravo isn’t quite first rate, it’s definitely a step up from Cafe Amore. In my opinion it’s better than, say, Famiglia, but not quite as good as Pizza 33.
It’s a welcome addition to Union Square (which will also be getting a Nordstrom Rack, Best Buy, and TGI Friday’s in the coming months), and I imagine it’ll do very well. Whether or not they’ll be able to cover what I’m sure is an outrageous rent is yet to be seen…
