Belz Architecture selected for design work on new downtown restaurant

Thursday, April 01, 2010
Belz Architecture has been selected to perform the architectural design services for a new restaurant to be located on Main Street in downtown Memphis.
 
The architectural design will retain and reuse the old terazzao floors and brick walls to give the restaurant an authentic and historical feel.

Aldo DeMartino had so much success with his first Downtown restaurant, Bardog Tavern, which opened in early 2009, he’s planning to start up another venture.

The native New Yorker is planning to bring hand-tossed pizza to Downtown by late spring, as he and three investors plan to open Aldo’s Pizza Pies in a 2,500-square-foot space at 64 S. Main.

“There’s virtually no pizza Downtown,” DeMartino says. “We’re going to bring in a guy from New York City who runs a pizza shop up there to get us going and make sure we have an authentic New York-style pizza.”

The street-level restaurant will have 100 seats with 20-seat outside patio.
 
It will be open for lunch and dinner, seven days a week, closing by midnight on Friday and Saturday.
