MONTCLAIR, N.J., Nov. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On Nov. 2, local leaders cut the ribbon on the newest business in downtown Montclair, Grindage Wood Fired Pizza & Sandwiches, located at 438 Bloomfield Avenue. The new restaurant will feature hand-crafted, locally sourced food in a fun and casual environment.
Located at the former home of the beloved Mancinni's Coal Oven Pizza, this locally owned restaurant will offer a variety of original pizzas, fresh seasonal salads and savory sandwiches.

"We are so excited to join the thriving dining culture in Montclair," says Lee Mangravito, co-owner of Grindage Wood Fired Pizza & Sandwiches and a resident of West Orange, N.J. "We're keeping the most popular elements of the Mancinni's menu, along with its chef, Joe Profita, and adding new pizzas, sandwiches and salads we think the community will love."
The new restaurant will be partnering with other businesses and restaurants in Montclair, collaborating on monthly menu specials and sourcing local ingredients.
