Earlier this month in Naples, Italy, Slice & Pie was named the 83rd best pizzeria in the world, and the new location will open alongside Taste of Lucy, an offshoot of Adriani’s cocktail bar and restaurant, Lucy. Both concepts will be separated by a wall spanning the 800 square foot space, with Slice & Pie featured on the left and Taste of Lucy on the right. Taste of Lucy will open in Union Market on Friday, September 19. (more…)
