Fuel for the Neighborhood – Harlem

Posted on December 9, 2013 by | 10 Comments

In a followup to our earlier post, the exciting new pizza place replacing the convenient but sometimes mediocre Pizzeria 123 is called Fuel (custom pizza•salads) and according to their website, the vintage gasoline station-themed cafe seems to be the first New York outpost of a North Carolina (and Washington DC) chain, although according to their website the originators are from New York:

Fuel for the Neighborhood Harlem

The online menu seems to have quite a few pizza, sandwich, salad and wing choices. Hopefully this will be another solid and inexpensive dining choice in the neighborhood.

New Pizzeria in Harlem – Word on the street… (Fuel)

Posted on December 8, 2013 by | 11 Comments

New Pizzeria in Harlem Word on the street... (Fuel)

Looks like Harlem will be getting a new pizzeria in the same location on Harlem Restaurant Row where “Pizzeria 123″ was.  Our source tells Harlem Condo Life that construction is underway and word on the street is that it will be called “Fuel”.  I like it!

Now with 1 Forno (great pizza and priced well on 116th Street), Bad Horse Pizza (on the pricier side but delicious) and this new place, we will have a lot of options.  As far as I’m concerned you can never have too many Pizza spots!!

Stay tuned…

*Location: Old pizza place, on 123 rd st was Pizzeria 123. (review)
