Thanks to Jon for the heads up, since I blew off the CB1 meeting agendas this month (not on purpose…): The former Harry’s space in the Goldman breezeway is on deck to become Seppe Pizza Bar, a “gourmet” pizza joint out of Staten Island.

According to a story from the Staten Island Advance, the SI place is owned by two brothers — Joe and John Iovino — former bartenders from The Dead Rabbit, so expect lots of specialty cocktails. They opened in December 2018 in Stapleton, on the northeast side of the island just north of the Verrazzano.

The place looks very cute. The pizza comes in three forms — 12-inch squares, 18-inch rectangles and individual rounds. No slices.

Seppe on Staten Island

They made it on the Michelin Guide’s list of best NYC pizzas in 2021, despite this dis: “Seppe Pizza Bar might be located in Staten Island, but we promise it’s worth it.” They went on: “First things first—peruse the cocktail menu, where savory and spicy drinks are a welcome alternative to too-sweet swizzles. Order a house spritz or a Negroni, then settle in to review the sprawling menu. Start with one of their fantastic pizzas with beautiful crispy bottoms, such as the unusually delicious Morty pizza, finished with a layer of pistachio-based pesto with mozzarella, and garnished with burrata and slices of mortadella. And while there are so many shareable plates, be sure to save room for their baked wings with a perfect char, or decadent pastas, like the cacio e pepe, both of which deliver on flavor.”
