A trendy pizza joint is moving from Manhattan (tired) to Maplewood (wired).  The space that was the Breadstand.

Speaking for myself, I never pass up a chance to try a slice pretty much anywhere. 

Ok but what about parking?

Street parking.  I'm sure the neighbors love it.

And reviews?  I think I'll try it out one of these days!  I found their Insta here:

It’s not open yet.

Pretty bold with Artie's so close.

not really any closer than Roman, Gourmet and Trattoria

I was to Porta Rossa Pasta - they have a nice selection of sandwiches.  And they have Mafalde (or malfaldine) pasta.  Which is really hard to find.

I think the owner of Artie’s still owns the building where the Breadstand was. 

My guess is he’s betting on a transformation of that neighborhood as the housing market continues to be hot. There’s a lot of Maplewood homes in that area who probably appreciate more convenient choices for restaurants.

Artie knows what he’s doing.
