A new sign in the window of Collegetown Pizza (CTP) this morning announced that the popular pizza shop on the corner of College Ave. & Dryden Rd. will be moving downhill, to 139 Dryden Rd. An employee at CTP confirmed that the sign was legitimate, but the owner was not available for comment.
The enthralling point of this breaking news is that 139 Dryden Rd. is the address of Mama Theresa’s Pizza and Italian Restaurant, longtime rival of CTP in the Collegetown pizza market.
The owners of Mama T’s have put the business up for sale multiple times in the last few years, most recently with James Orcutt Real Estate at an asking price of $149,000.
One can only speculate on the reason for the move until further details are released, but the relocation does prolong the trend of Collegetown business either closing or moving away from the prime, expensive intersection of College Ave. and Dryden Rd. Across the intersection, the space that formerly was Green Cafe has remained vacant since the eatery’s closure in Aprill 2010.
Collegetown Pizza has been serving the Cornell Collegetown community at its current location since 2001. It’s unclear at the moment if Mama T’s will take a new location or close entirely.
