A little over a year after the previous Williamsburg location closed, Mathieu Palombino’s pizzeria Motorino may be returning to Brooklyn. An entity called Motorino Broadway, Inc has filed an SLA application with Brooklyn’s CB1, on which the board will be voting at Wednesday’s meeting. As Grub Street notes, this would place the reborn Motorino Brooklyn basically within steps of Peter Luger, Marlow & Sons, and Dressler.

Any news on when/where/if they are reopening?

Diners hoping to get their brick oven pizza on at Motorino last night were greeted by closed doors and this sign. RIP Motorino.

Formerly: Motorino to close, um, permanently.

Evidently their building is practically crumbling. Via Eater

Palombino offers this statement: “I’m sadly reporting that the Department of Building has shut down Motorino in Brooklyn. The stupidity of our landlord is a force we were not able to overcome. While this setback is unfortunate, we promise to soon re-open in a new location.”

Needless to say, they will be missed.
