Mayor Mike Purzycki joined property owners Ralph and Rose Pepe for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and official opening of La Pizzeria Metro in Wilmington. The restaurant was built within Miller Road Station, a 11,000-square-foot Spanish colonial-style building that was originally constructed in 1916, located at 3101 Miller Road. Wilmington Brew Works CEO Craig Wensell will also have a presence at the site.
To mark the grand opening, Mike and Mindy Tumolo, who also own Café Riviera in the Concord Mall and the food truck Pizzeria Pronto, served up a variety of small plates and specialty pizzas from the new Italian eatery’s menu, as well beer and wine to guests from the DaVinci Society, a local community-based Italian non-profit organization that performs acts of community service throughout the Wilmington area.
