    I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Italian Passion Pizza" (FKA Ninos), on Franklin near President.

    It is pretty good. It has been around forever.

    Oh, Nino's is what I was referring to. Not sure why I called it Tony's. Yes, it is good and open late too.

    Can we add Patsy's at 450 Dean (corner of Flatbush) to this list yet?

    Looked close to opening a couple weeks ago but I've been out of town since then.

    Oh, and don't forget Pizza Moto at Berg'n, who told me a few months ago they were adding delivery this spring.

    Mmmm, pizza....

    The back yards of Zaaz pizza will soon feature horse shoes and movie nights.

    I'm not sure where to place Zaaz.

    It is similar in price to Ogliastro, which has a much larger crowd and fancier atmosphere. I see lots of young families there, with parents drinking profit-producing alcohol.

    In large part as result of its dim lighting, Barbarchino seems to be going for a couples/dating crowd. Not as many young families.

    In large part of being located in PS 9, Amorina has the most young families, but children are older and the parents less thirsty.

    If I ran Pete Zaaz, I would consider getting out of the pizza business and into the sandwich business. Quickly.

    Yeah, they are sandwiched (pun intended) between some solid options, and I'd include Rosco's in that for straight up standard pizza + casual environment.

    The space is definitely nice now, both in and out.

    I really enjoyed the pies from the early days of the original Pete Zaaz - fresh, tasty, well-cooked.  When they "re-opened" I tried another pie...it was inedible.  It was maybe a couple of weeks after they opened, and I generally try and give new places a 2nd chance, but I just haven't had the heart to.

    Unless they have a secret day time business I am not aware of, I am giving this place until New Years, at the latest.

    Random views of their popularity have not caused me to change my estimated date of demise.

    The name Zaaz Pizza is now dead, and they have renamed themselves Holy Moly.

    ...I don't think that is going to be enough.

    We went a few weeks ago, and the pizza may actually have gotten worse. Every three months or so we give it one last shot, but it's over.

    It's a shame. PeteZaaz made the best slice I've ever had.

    I can't imagine how they could get worse. I went last year and it was one of the worst pizzas I ever had in my life--and I've tried a lot of really bad pizza in various parts of the world. 

    I remember once when I was about 8 years old I tried to make pizza by mixing water and flower on a toaster oven tray, and then putting jarred Ragu and American cheese on top. I got caught when I tried to flush the smoldering mess down the toilet, and now my family will never let me forget about it. That may have been worse than Zaaz pizza.

    You should have used flour, rather than flower!

    But at least the mess must have been fragrant...

    Walked by yesterday when walking my foster dog and sign said they were on sabbatical until further notice. I've personally never eaten there so I hope something excellent eventually comes in. I'm still hoping for great falafel.

    The death of this place is long overdue. I rarely saw customers in there and saw no signs of takeout or delivery.

    Strolled by this morning. Liquor sign in the window for a new business. 872 DeKalb Ave LLC / Heights Bar and Grill. Can't get the picture to post properly, but my eyes saw it!
