Exciting New Addition to Downtown Huntsville: Razzo Pizzeria!
Hey Huntsville! If you’re a foodie or just someone who enjoys a good night out, get ready because there’s a brand-new spot coming to our downtown area that is sure to excite your taste buds! Razzo Pizzeria is set to open its doors at 222 Holmes Ave., filling the space that has seen quite a bit of culinary action over the years.
A Bit of History
This particular space has a colorful past. Most recently, it housed The Bakingtist, which kicked off its sweet adventures in the summer of 2022, then transitioned to a baking school before saying goodbye in late 2024. But let’s take a step back even further; before The Bakingtist, the building was home to Below the Radar, a popular brewpub and restaurant that entertained local residents from 2012 until it closed in 2021. So, you can say this corner at Holmes and Greene Streets has seen its fair share of food experiences!
The Next Chapter: What to Expect at Razzo
Now, let’s talk about what’s brewing for Razzo Pizzeria. The pizzeria is gearing up to transform this beloved location into a haven for pizza lovers! The planned space covers around 3,600 square feet, providing plenty of room for diners looking to enjoy some delicious eats. And speaking of eats, the menu is going to feature some fantastic offerings that’ll make your mouth water!
Get ready for craft pizza served by the slice, which is perfect for those who want to try a bit of everything. Pair that with some local beers, a crisp salad, or even a light dessert, and you’ve got a perfect meal in the making!
Artisanal Touch
One of the biggest highlights of Razzo Pizzeria is its pizza crust, which is made from 100% naturally leavened sourdough. This means you can expect a crust that’s not only delicious but also reflects the artisanal craftsmanship that pizza lovers greatly appreciate. It’s all about quality ingredients and that homemade feel – which is music to the ears of anyone who knows good pizza!
A Name with Meaning
The name “Razzo” translates to “rocket” in Italian, which is quite fitting given Huntsville’s reputation as a center for space and aerospace endeavors. The logo features an adorable twist, with a pizza-slice-shaped rocket ship taking the place of the letter “A” in Razzo. How fun is that? It captures the spirit of adventure while connecting to our city’s unique identity!
What’s Around Razzo?
Located right next to Catch 25, another fantastic local spot known for seafood and brews, there’s no shortage of great dining experiences in this part of downtown. With Razzo adding its unique flair to the mix, residents and visitors alike will have plenty of delicious options to choose from – it’s a win-win situation!
Stay Tuned!
While the Razzo Pizzeria website is currently marked as “under construction”, anticipation is growing as folks eagerly await updates. The storefront window already has a “coming soon” poster, hinting at an exciting transformation on the horizon. Once it opens its doors, this pizzeria will undoubtedly become a favorite hangout spot for pizza fanatics, families, and friends looking to enjoy a great meal together.
