NEW YORK, NY (January 4, 2012)—Opening on Wednesday, January 4, SoHo will welcome its newest eatery in the form of Prince Street Pizza, located at 27 Prince Street between Mott and Elizabeth. The intimate restaurant will feature a combination of fun starters, calzones and unique pizza options, including the in house favorite SoHo Squares. Named after various streets in the neighborhood as an homage to the owners’ childhood tradition of eating pizza with his family every Sunday, there will be five different SoHo Squares including the Mercer Margarita (thin crust pizza, marinara sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil and garlic), the Broadway Breadcrumb (seasoned breadcrumbs and tomato sauce) and the Spicy Spring (Fra Diavalo sauce, spicy soprasetta& fresh mozzerella).

 

Beyond the custom slices, Prince Street Pizza will also feature four Neapolitan pizza options including an old-school original 20” pie and the Boozy Broome (vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella) as well as a Humble Ham Calzone, Sassy Sopprasseta Calzone and Cheese Please, Classic Cheese Calzone, served with a variety of

dipping sauces. To start, customers will have a choice of classic appetizers like the Stuffed Prosciutto Balls, Neapolitan Rice Balls and the Crazy Calabrese (broccoli rabe & garlic wrapped in a Chinese egg roll and served with sweet chili sauce).

 

“We wanted to open a place that served the type of great, comforting pizza we grew up with,” said co-owner Frank Morano. “The menu is fun but relatively limited because we want to make sure everything we serve is the best in New York. The SoHo Squares are the perfect mix of classic and new, guaranteed to have you coming back for more.”

 

Opening at the site of the original Ray’s Pizza, first operated by Luchese crime family member Ralph Cuomo, the location has its share of history. Despite the name controversy and rumored mob ties, Ray’s Pizza was always known for having great pizza and Prince Street Pizza looks to continue that tradition.

 

Located in the heart of SoHo and featuring a traditional exposed brick décor and seating for twelve, the restaurant will offer curb side pick up allowing customers to drive or bike up to the storefront and have their order brought out to them. Prince Street Pizza aims to bring a neighborhood vibe to the area and reflect back on days when pizza was a heartwarming family ritual. Pushing quality over quantity, the limited menu focuses on all natural, local ingredients and can be viewed in its entirety here:
