Scarr’s Pizza and Speedy Romeo Temporarily Shutter Amidst COVID-19 Shutdown
Two popular Lower East Side pizzerias are shutting down for the time being, while the city continues to reel from the COVID-19 outbreak.
Scarr’s Pizza announced last Friday that the Orchard Street pizza parlor is down for the duration.
Speedy Romeo delivered the news on Sunday, also via Instagram, that the Clinton Street restaurant was temporarily closing. However, the original Brooklyn locale is still fulfilling takeout and delivery orders.
Both Scarr’s and Speedy Romeo LES had spent the first week of the shutdown serving customers as permitted by the city mandate.
As for Scarr’s, no word just yet on how this will affect plans to open a larger location across the street at 35 Orchard.
