The Route 30 landmark—just over the Forest Hills border—will be reopening on Sunday, June 16, just in time for the holiday.
The pizza shop was ordered to close last spring. It was started by Vincent Chianese, Zollner's father, in 1950. One of the licensees,Chianese's business partner John Bellissimo (B&C Pizza Inc.), stopped paying the necessary royalties after Chianese died in March 2010. He owed $42,000.
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, Chianese's daughter, Toni Zollner, spent $200,000 to modernize the restaurant while keeping its retro atmosphere.
An opening day countdown has been ongoing on Facebook. For more updates, visit Vincent's Facebook page.
