Haven Pizzeria opening February 15, Cava Mezze Grill expanding to Tenleytown

I’ve got lots of little tidbits to report. Here goes:

Finally! Haven Pizzeria Napoletana has announced an opening date of February 15, and it appears to be for real. The partners behind the New Haven-style pizza place on 7137 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda were originally (and unrealistically) shooting for an early June opening, but construction delays and county approvals set them back.

The former Hadji Oriental Rug shop now sports a 100,000-pound brick oven fired with anthracite coal, plus other snazzy details.

Speaking of New Haven-style pizza (let the competition begin!), Pete’s New Haven Style Apizza , with locations in Tenleytown (4940 Wisconsin Avenue), Clarendon and Columbia Heights, finally broke down and is now offering 14-inch pizzas.
