Cecily Is Opening in Greenpoint From an Estela Alum - Eater NY
"Kevin Cox, the owner of Funzi’s in the East Village, is reportedly out at the new business. The promising pizzeria opened on St. Marks Place this spring: Its thin-crust pies with simple toppings — tomato, garlic, and chicory — put the pizzeria in the same sentence as slice shop greats like L’Industrie, where Cox previously worked, and Scarr’s. He has since left the business amid a dispute with the building’s investors and landlord, according to sources in the neighborhood. The Funzi’s name has been removed from the storefront at 36 St. Marks Place, between Second and Third avenues; the restaurant remains open for service. Funzi’s did not respond to Eater’s request for comment." - Luke Fortney
