"We are anticipating delivering the first round of units right around June 2017."
We'll see. I like their positivity about the stretch of King in general, and the statement that "We would like to look at other sites along that corridor." I think a lot of developers will.

I can't wait till King St. is finished because the amount of excavating traffic going down Louisa is outrageous

Glad to have someone new on the forum here from the neighbourhood! A lot of neighbourhoods like ours are getting heavier traffic while King is closed (along with other streets). Hopefully it will prove a case of short term pain and long term gain. Anyway, not much longer now until parts of King open back up.
Awesome to see progress on this project. Anyone have any wild guesses about completion date?

Well they say spring to summer 2017 but I can't see that. I am going with early 2018.

A little less than a year sounds about right. I am looking forward to seeing how this one looks.

Hell, I think the site trailer and the hole in the ground looks better than what was there.

Just moved down to King St E, no?

Yes, it did. It's near King and Cameron now. But you have to understand that it was not exactly anything special- it was pretty good value, but it's not exactly the type of pizza you get in the car and drive for. Its best attribute was proximity and I miss its proximity. I don't think I wrote about it in any letters home. I am sure it's serving its neighbours in Cedar Hill very well for when they just need to walk around the corner and get a reliable pie.
It's not nice to lose retail space, but I agree with C Plus: what was there wasn't great. Mount Hope will get another pizza place soon enough (on the other side of Weber, Planet Pizza is pretty reliable I think).

What about the pizza joint at 607 King st? I mean do not get attached to them either cause it is a matter of time till they are gone too.
RE: Midtown Lofts | ?m | 6 fl | U/C - MidTowner - 05-26-2016
haha Good advice not to get attached to them. I actually ordered an Indian dish from there once. I am no connoisseur of Indian, so no comment. Indian and pizza at the same place struck me as bizarre, but hey.
I think there are reasons why none of these places have been brought up in the 'Best Pizza in Town' thread. But proximity is sometimes as important as anything else.

While vacationing in Portugal, I think we saw three separate restaurants advertising "Indian & Italian cuisine". They do both start with the letter "I" but we couldn't figure out any other common elements.
