New pizza joint near UD welcomes night owls

By Mark Fisher | Friday, November 6, 2009, 06:44 AM

A new carryout and delivery pizza restaurant, Pie Pizzeria, has opened at 1910 Brown St. near the campus of the University of Dayton.

The new pizza place caters to night owls: Pie Pizzeria stays open until 4 a.m. Thursday through Sunday, and until 3 a.m. Monday through Wednesday. It opens at 11 a.m. daily.

Pie Pizzeria is owned by Craig Hatfield of Dayton, who said he has always wanted to own a restaurant. Pie Pizzeria specializes in New York-style pizza by the slice, and offers 16-inch and 18-inch specialty pizzas with nicknames such as the Brooklyn Brawler, Park Avenue Chicken, Madison Square Garden and Broadway Barbecue. The menu also includes oven-baked sandwiches, pasta dishes and salads.

If those pizza nicknames sound familiar to what’s served at Johnny’s Pizzeria — A Slice of New York in Centerville, they are. Hatfield said he has been friends with Johnny’s co-owner Johnny Rivera for 10 years, and Rivera was behind the counter helping Hatfield on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 5.

Pie Pizzeria employs 16 people. It is located just north of the Brown Street-Irving Avenue intersection, near the Pine Club restaurant. For more information, call (937) 228-4743.
