Gregory Mihos, the owner of the Cargo Pizza Company (website, facebook, instagram) food truck, has leased the former Falafel Time space at 1053 Forest Ave where he plans to open a pizzeria. He hopes to launch the new restaurant in December.
Cargo Pizza will be serving “Neo-Neapolitan/New Haven-style brick oven pizza”, smash burgers, and house-made fried foods (mozzarella sticks, fries, wings, etc.) for lunch and dinner. Mihos is also developing a breakfast menu with breakfast sandwiches and coffee to go. He shared,
Our goal is for as many items as possible to be made in-house, delivering a quality product free from fillers, preservatives, and unnecessary ingredients. We aim to create options that are mindful of health and autoimmune considerations, allowing people to enjoy their favorite foods without compromising their wallet or well-being.
The counter service pizzeria will have seating for 20 people with additional outdoor seating in warmer months. The menu will also be available for takeout and delivery.
Mihos launched the Cargo Pizza food truck in 2019. His father Dimitrios Mihos owns Romeos Pizza, and the younger Mihos gained experience working at a number of their locations and managing the Scarborough Romeos.
