Famous Famiglia-open-jackson-heights

It’s been a long time coming for the Famous Famiglia inside the Roosevelt Avenue subway station, but the pizza chain finally opened today. DNAinfo reports that the joint celebrated its grand opening at 11am and will donate the day’s profits to Elmhurst Hospital’s “Helping Kids Heal” fund. The MTA selected Famous Famiglia to operate out of this location, which had previously been vacant, way back in 2011. Construction started up in 2012 and the MTA didn’t approve the restaurant’s final designs until this summer. The pizza chain signed a 20-year lease on the space.
