The Cornell Insider first broke in May that Collegetown Pizza would be moving away from its College Ave. and Dryden Ave. location. The restaurant that had been a staple in Collegetown life since 2001 as a quick food stop and late-night loitering location would be moving downhill on Dryden Road to the former location of Mama T’s Pizzeria.
The announcement shook up the Collegetown munchies market. It was also a sign of the failing business model in our student neighborhood. As students explored new hot spots, three corners stood vacant on the intersection of College and Dryden.
The end of the pizza drought, however, seems to be in sight.
The Daily Sun reported this morning that the pizzeria should open sometime between September 20 and 25 at its new location. CTP would confirm that opening before Homecoming Weekend would be a significant profit booster.
Homecoming weekend kicks of Friday, September 21. The three days of Cornell-based activities bring hundreds of alumni back to campus each year. For CTP, this means more profits if their grand reopening can occur before the weekend.
