Pizzeria Mercato Signs Lease at Public Market
The Public Market has announced a new tenant at the former Hot Italian space. Pizzeria Mercato will offer Neapolitan style pizza and pasta dishes as well as a full bar. The Pizzeria will be operated by the owners of Lokanta, a well-known Mediterranean restaurant with locations in Walnut Creek and Pleasanton.
“We are thrilled that the successful chefs and operators from Lokanta will bring their talent and vision to Public Market Emeryville,” said Mark Stefan, President and Co-founder of City Center Realty Partners, which manages the Public Market. “We talked to a lot of potential tenants but wanted to ensure we had an operator who understood the community and could provide very high-quality fare.”
“Public Market has such a great, welcoming feeling and energy. We knew we wanted to create exquisite pizza and we knew we wanted to be part of what’s happening here,” noted owner Dogan Ozdogan. “We look forward to sharing more details in the coming months, but for now, we’re delighted to let everyone know great pizza is in the future at Public Market.”
