Cafe Apple Grill To Replace Chipp Pizzeria


by on Feb 23rd, 2012

The signs for Cafe Apple Grill went up Tuesday, giving neighbors the first sight of what will replace Chipp Neapolitan Pizzeria at 2971 Ocean Avenue.

Reader James Griffin snapped the photo and tipped us off to the new sign, and asked that we throw in a plug for his new website www.shuttereuphoria.com. So… www.shuttereuphoria.com, www.shuttereuphoria.com, www.shuttereuphoria.com!

That’ll be $250, Griffin…

Chipp Neapolitan Pizzeria, which was co-owned by Lenny “The Russian” Veltman of Donald Trump’s The Apprentice, closed in October after only seven months. We spotted the for sale announcement on Craigslist in June. At that time, co-owner Rus Gor told us that a dispute between the partners led to the sale.

After it sold we stopped by, and Gor and Veltman were both there with the new owner – who told us it would be a Russian-Uzbeki restaurant.

Now we’ve got Cafe Apple Grill, and we can spend the next few weeks until it opens wondering if it’s a cafe or a grill.

Oh, and www.shuttereuphoria.com.

    They closed up because they weren’t doing business. The new residents of the area,don’t eat pizza,American fast food,diners,traditional chinese,deli,bagels,etc. They like their own ethnic food.And that is all that you will find now.

      Chip closed because it was overpriced and the food sucked.

        couldnt agree more.   topbrgr on emmons is next, though they have been toying with their prices and offers.   following that would be TSAR, another overpriced sh_thole, ohm, and FUSION – about to change owners or declare bankruptcy and emerge as “the fusion” or “new fusion”

          Fusion is pretty good as far as food and service goes. Been there half a dozen times – never had a reason to complain.

      Russians love pizza. You’re delusional. The problem was the attitude of the owners/management. The pricing and the quality of the food!

        You moron never even went there, stupid ass. Eat your sheepshitbay food, fits your fat ass perfect)))))

          Is that you Lenny? I hope you learned from your failures. If you don’t provide quality food then all the blustering is worthless. Bad Food, Bad Attitude.
