"Danny Meyer’s pizzeria Martina will shutter at the end of March after an unsteady year and a half in the East Village. The Union Square Hospitality Group restaurant opened in August 2017 as a fast-casual offshoot of its popular, full-service Nomad restaurant Marta. But the restaurant’s reception wasn’t so hot, with Eater critic Ryan Sutton writing that the pizza, especially the margherita, 'needs some work.' The Times’ Pete Wells did award it one star, saying 'they can be very good,' but agreeing that 'the simple margherita is a bore.' Meyer and Anderer made the decision in December to pivot to a full-service restaurant." - Stefanie Tuder
