Europa Pizzeria Restaurant on 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn Closed


I was surprised to hear that Europa Pizzeria Restaurant on 65th Street and 20th Avenue closed their business. This was their goodbye message:

For over twenty years, this place was always busy.

Restaurant patrons said that the building was sold. I saw one site with this price for the property.

Good luck Nino. We wish Nino good health and a happy retirement!
