"Manhattan’s popular pizzeria, Mama’s Too, is opening its second location this week. Owner Frank Tuttolomondo confirms that March 9 is opening day for the pizzeria’s second location, at 323-325 Bleecker Street, near Christopher Street, in the West Village. The 30-seat restaurant has been in the works for over a year. It will have all the same pizzas as the original, plus sandwiches and snacks like arancini and focaccia. The original slice shop opened on the Upper West Side in 2017. It’s known for its excellent plain pizza and crisp square slices with pepperoni, which the New York Times called “a standout in a great slice revival.” Tuttolomondo announced that he was headed downtown last year. “One of the main reasons we opened in the West Village was to give better access for those who can’t make the trek uptown,” he says." - Luke Fortney
