When I saw the pizza ovens in the window and the sign saying “Grandma Rose’s,” I let out a yelp of joy. We’re going to have to rename Graham Avenue Pizzeria Row. John Ricco, the man bringing us Rose’s, hopes to open in about three weeks. And he plans to stay open late. Rose’s won’t close until 11pm Monday through Wednesday, 1am on Thursdays, and until the just-pre-dawn hour of 5am on Friday and Saturday nights — a godsend for those off the Graham L stop who have ever been plagued with post-party hunger.
Ricco, who has lived in Williamsburg all his life, decided to open up Grandma Rose’s in the space formerly housing the law firm of Crudo Crudo & Russo, after leaving his position as a stock broker at Bear Stearns in 2008.
