Catch an Early Glimpse of Bruno Pizza's Chefs Counter and Dining Room

Demian Repucci is deep into construction mode at Bruno Pizza, where the former Box Kite boys, Justin Slojkowski and Dave Gulino plan to serve hyper-locally-sourced pizza plus (for a select group) a reservations-only tasting menu nightly.

Can you picture a bar and tables at a long banquette? #brunopizzanyc

Come spring, Slojkowski and Gulino will be spending much of their time here, behind the chef's counter.

Can you picture the 'Chef's Counter' and open kitchen beyond?

There are plans to mill 00 (the gold standard of pizza flours) in the house, though the team's still less than halfway to their Kickstarter goal to fund it, with only 10 days left.

Meanwhile, the chefs are hosting a menu beta test meal this weekend.
