Northeast Pizza has opened in Kansas City’s historic northeast neighborhood, bringing New York-style pizza slices and 16-inch specialty and build-your-own pies to the Pendleton Heights neighborhood. The new pizza shop is located across the street from PH Coffee. It’s owned by three friends with hospitality backgrounds who have ties to the neighborhood. Noah Quillec, whose family owns Café Provence, French Market, and Verbena and has lived in the neighborhood for seven years, will run the operation along with two partners—Michael DeStefano, who is the executive chef at Verbena and who bonded with Quillec over their mutual love of pizza, and Max Popoff, the founder and owner of Farewell, a local music venue, who served as the contractor for the pizzeria. The restaurant has exposed red brick walls and bright green accents. There’s a pizza counter where you can pick up slices from three or four rotating selections, in addition to whole pizzas, garlic knots, fresh salads, and for dessert, chocolate chip cookies from the French Market. Beer, wine, and soda are also available. Hours are Wednesday-Thursday 3 p.m. – 8 p.m., Friday – Saturday 3 p.m. – 9 p.m. and Sunday 3 p.m. – 8 p.m.
