Founded during the difficult pandemic years, Delray Beach pizzeria concept Death By Pizza has proven its sticking power, and now it’s preparing to expand to a second location in West Delray.
The site of the new location was revealed recently in coverage by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, which shows the second Death By Pizza opening at 15065 S State Road 7, #400, where it will take over the space formerly occupied by Pizzeria Sophia.
“Born as an Instagram pop-up in the ancient COVID-19 era, the pizzeria specializes in Detroit-style pies built with a sourdough starter, which imparts a crunchy-chewy, focaccia-like crust,” the coverage says. “Many more tantalizing rectangles have joined the menu since its heady pop-up days, notably the Gandolfini (sweet Italian sausage, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, roasted garlic, mozzarella, basil and honey), the Meatball Burrata (self-explanatory) and Final Vegstination (wild mushrooms, roasted broccoli, mozzarella and basil pesto).”
The menu also features a selection of Salads, Wraps & Hot Sandos like Meatball Parm Sando and the Honey Buffalo Chicken Tender Sando, and Desserts like Underground Oreo Mud Pie.
Behind the concept are local restaurateurs Koby and Zoey Wexler. What Now reached out to Koby Wexler on Saturday to inquire about plans for the opening. Wexler declined to make any immediate comment on the opening.
