It might not be possible to have too many pizza restaurants. After all, when you want a slice of ‘za, do you really want to drive across town? So when one pizza restaurant moves out and leaves a vacant space, it can be frustrating for locals, as they no longer are able to easily stop by and grab a pizza with their favorite toppings. Here in Tucson, when one pizza restaurant departs, it leaves behind the possibility of another to move into it’s place. With a wood-fired oven sitting around, waiting for a new tenant, Tucson residents will once again be able to order a pizza when stopping by the Cartel Roasting Company.
A few months ago, I wrote about the moving of Penelope Pizza. The shop, which shared a space inside of the Cartel Roasting Company, decided it wanted a bit more elbow room and its own address, so it left. It left a brief hole inside of the coffee roaster, as there was a wood-fired pizza oven suddenly sitting around, gathering dust. That vacant space though has now been scooped up by Lumbre Pizza a La Leña.
