An iconic Binghamton pizza shop has a new home and longtime fans are smiling as they check out the new spot.
New York Pizzeria was ordered out of the Binghamton Plaza after the city took control of the property last March after an eminent domain process.

Fabrizio and Germano Michitti already had chosen a new site for their restaurant. It’s near the Walgreens Pharmacy in a retail plaza at 71 Robinson Street.
After the Binghamton Plaza eatery closed in late July, the owners along with family members and employees spent several days moving equipment including large pizza ovens to the new location.

The pizza place opened with no fanfare Monday but many loyal customers showed up thanks to word-of-mouth.
The owners were busy Tuesday continuing to train the staff and getting acclimated to their bright new home.

In addition to New York Pizzeria’s traditional fare, the shop on Robinson Street features an expanded menu that includes a new shaved ribeye sandwich.
The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Crews on Tuesday were working to complete a new parking lot on the east side of the pizza shop.
