Totonno's Owner Hopes For June Reopening

2009_04_totonno.jpg Slice has an update about legendary Coney Island pizzeria Totonno's. The establishment, whose coal oven and excellent pies make pizza aficionados swoon, had to close its doors in mid-March after a fire broke out in the coal storage area. Owner Lawrence Ciminieri originally thought the restaurant would be back open by now but now he tells Slice's Adam Kuban, "It took four weeks just to get the permit to start work. We'll start May 1, and hopefully it'll take four weeks to rebuild. So early June" may be a reopening date (Ciminieri suggests that people call first, just to make sure it is open; 718-372-8606).
