Demolition will make way for new Nicola Pizza

A demolition crew is busy tearing down the former Wright Self-Storage facility to make way for a new Nicola Pizza restaurant adjacent to Ocean One Plaza near Five Points, Lewes. Plans were approved recently by Sussex County officials for a 9,640-square-foot, two-story restaurant with a 1,726 square-foot covered deck on the parcel off Route 1.

Nicola owners, the Caggiano family, plan to vacate and sell their two existing properties at North First Street and Rehoboth Avenue in downtown Rehoboth Beach. Work is expected to be completed in late summer or early fall.
