766 Classon (formerly Glass shop coffee) and 768 Classon (formerly Pete Zaaz) become Zaaz Pizza

whynot_31

The former site of the Glass Shop hoped to open on October 10th, and serve sandwiches.

766 Classon

 

Pete Zaaz is supposed to return as a pizza shop at some point in the distant future.

Stupid question....are they actually naming the store Mmmmm Sandwiches?

whynot_31

I suspect not.

...but they are not the boss of me.

Davina

Ah ok. I am curious to know if they will be selling sandwiches only. Seems to be so many other places (the local deli etc) that can put together a sandwich.

whynot_31

I believe their strengths will be sandwiches with the ability to sit and eat.

They may offer salads and soups if they sense demand.

Their proximity to the Court Officers Academy (believed to staffing up in Spring 2015, and then actually having its first class in Fall 2015) may be key to the sandwich strategy.

I see. Possible lunch spot.

laura palmer

never mind. I posted about Pete Zaaz reopening and then realized it was already in another thread elsewhere. 

whynot_31

Has anyone seen any construction in the former Glass shop yet?

wbm

No activity yet. Both storefronts are dark and quiet.

Actually, the lights were on today. I've seen folks working in Glass Shop.

This weekend, I saw activity in the Pete Zaaz space.    They also have a flyer stating they are seeking a waiter on the door.

Sounds like it is supposed to reopen pretty soon.

Kitchen inspection has been requested: http://www.nychealthratings.com/nycrestapp/restaurantlanding/3/Crown Heights/43401


...no word on the sandwich portion that we were originally told would open on October 10, 2014.

Pete Zaaz reopened yesterday.     It has new owners, and is now simply known as "Zaaz"

Pete is out of the picture.

joshb

Not open tonight. Is it just pizza? Or sandwiches? Or what?

eeadams

It's closed today because it's Sunday. It'll be open again tomorrow.

whynot_31

They have taken over the Glass Shop space for seating. It is just pizza.

Sandwiches are not coming.

Is that potato pizza?!

whynot_31

It is.

Thanks for the menu pic, @whynot_31!
Do you know if those are 'personal' pizzas or larger?

whynot_31

I believe two people could split a pizza and call it a meal.

heightsmom

Barboncino, ogliastro, Amorina, Rosco's, and now Zaaz. I think we're good on "fancy" pizza.

whynot_31

Indeed.

I suspect that may have been part of Pete's decision to shed this venue and "merely" operate Boomwich in Boerum Hill. http://www.yelp.com/biz/boomwich-brooklyn

I'd love for someone to open a really good traditional pizza place. You know classic NYC pie with cheese, pepperoni and sausage. None of this potato and odd junk.

Rosco's is my go to "traditional" place in the neighborhood

Tony's on Franklin near President is a good traditional pizza place. The owner who is always there is actually Italian and is a nice guy to chat with.

Gino's on Washington has improved after moving across the street.

Antonio's on Flatbush.

Da Nonna Rosa is hands down our favorite.  They're in Park Slope but deliver to Crown Heights.

Rosco's uses frozen, pre-packaged dough.  Yuck.
