On Instagram, on May 3, Arepa Lady said they'd be opening in "hopefully just a couple of weeks." So fingers crossed they are open by the end of the month.

Arepa Lady is definitely moving along. the interior doesn't look *finished*, but they've made some major inroads already. haven't been able to see inside Romeo's, but looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Fresh Spilt Mil'k now has a sign stating that it will be serving Argentinian pizza.

Did someone say Argentinian Style Pizza, now I'm excited

THE BEST pizza in the world.

Anyone who's been to Buenos Aires would attest to this.

I have written on this forum quite a few times about Argentine pizza. There used to be an Argentinian pizzeria around 2007-2008, which was right at the foot of the 7 train on 90th. It closed and the owner/manager reopened for a short few months in and concurrent with Party Pizza (where Sac's is now). There is a home-style version almost always available at La Gran Uruguaya bakery and also at La Nueva bakery.

I can't remember it ever being greasy. It's my favorite of all the everyday-type pizzeria pizzas, i.e. pre-baked, sold by slice, quick, inexpensive.

I wouldn't doubt, in fact I hope, it's the same guy opening at the spilt milk address.

Driving to Jamaica Bay yesterday, we passed another Romeo's--maybe in Howard Beach? Not just the same name, it had the same big red signage, only this one said "Romeo's Pizza and Pasta." From what I could see quickly passing by, it seemed like it might be similar to the pizza place in the Roosevelt 74th St station. It didn't look as much like a real Italian restaurant as it did a typical pizza place. But maybe they will be trying something new--who knows. I wonder if there are other locations.

Saw some major construction going on at Arepa Lady's new location on Saturday. 
Brava for making the investment in the neighborhood!!!!!
Can't wait until it opens

Yes! I'm also looking forward to Arepa Lady's opening.

It looks like the two other businesses, Mamma Rosa's pizzeria, and Romeo's are also getting closer to an opening date. Mamma Rosa's has a "now hiring" sign, and Romeo's just had new windows installed. I took a peek at Romeo's interior recently, and noticed how the former Armando's sidewalk seating extension had made a big difference in terms of size. Of course, Romeo's appears smaller, but its brick walls lend kind of a rustic and cozy appeal to the smaller space.  Keeping fingers crossed!
