The pizzeria temporarily shuttered after a fire scare.
After a brief hiatus due to water damage last week, Varuni Napoli will resume serving its pizza beginning this evening, May 5, at 5:30 p.m., the restaurant in a press release announced Tuesday.
“Maestro pizzaiolo Luca Varuni and his team are looking forward to once again serving authentic Neapolitan cuisine to the city of Atlanta,” according to the release.
On the morning of Sunday, April 26, a bystander passing by Varuni Napoli noticed smoke coming from the restaurant and alerted the Atlanta Fire Department. Though there was no fire, the “fast-acting” authorities entered the restaurant to address the smoke with water.
When the pizza ovens, which burn at 900 degrees, are started they emit smoke throughout the restaurant during the heating process which takes place on a daily basis.
