East Village: Anyone who stopped in for a meal at the AvroKO designed EU before it closed last month will be familiar with the space. But owner Bob Giraldi made some significant changes to the room when he decided to convert it into a pizza joint. In addition to the obvious $30,000 slow-rotating 1,000-degree wood-burning pizza oven, they've painted the brick white, replaced the long communal table and raised tables at the entrance with a series of low two and four tops, and added in new shelves populated with wine and pizza-making accoutrement. Luckily, they didn't change too much—since this space was gorge—but one gets the sense of starting over. She opens tonight at 5:30. The full menu is below; further coverage can be found here, here, and here.
