First the bad news.
Luciano’s Too has closed .
A Dec. 30 post on the northeast Cape Coral pizzeria’s Facebook page announced the unexpected news.
“Luciano’s Too Pizzeria has been sold and will be closing, effective immediately,” it read. “… We’re very grateful for your support and the memories we’ve created together. Thank you for being part of our story.”
In late October 2023, Hunter Bloch and John Saladino opened this second location of their family-owned and operated New York-style pizzeria — Luciano’s Pizza — on Pine Island Road.
The new location took over Morrone’s Pizzeria’s old spot in Entrada Plaza off Del Prado Boulevard North.
“It was kind of turnkey for us,” Bloch said shortly after the opening. “We just did cosmetic stuff. We painted, updated it.”
Fourteen months later, Luciano’s Too looked like it would be on a short holiday hiatus.
“We’ll be taking a holiday break and will be closed from December 23rd through January 1 st ,” a Dec. 23 post read.
