Strada Pizza, located at 2301 S. Howell Ave., has officially closed for business.
However, the space won’t be vacant long.
According to a notice on the Strada web site, the Bay View location of Strada Pizza Company was bought out by Lombardi’s Restaurant & Pizzeria and will reopen as Lombardi’s beginning Monday, Dec. 14.
Strada, which opened in March 2015, specialized in New York-style pizza available both by the slice and the pie. Lombardi’s appears to have a more extensive menu, which also includes pizza.
