A few months into the 2020 pandemic days, I wrote about a Delray pizza pop-up with a remarkable cult following. The square, Detroit-style pies were so in demand, they’d sell out just minutes after the minds at Death by Pizza opened their online reservation window. You’d order the pizza at noon on a Monday – if you were lucky and quick, that is – and pick it up the following Sunday.
Now the concept will take a major leap. Death by Pizza creator Koby Wexler and his family plan to open a brick-and-mortar, takeout pizza shop in downtown Delray Beach. They hope to open the new shop in mid-October.
The pizzeria takes over the former New Vegan space, which is just blocks from the Wexler family’s popular Two Fat Cookies and Two Fat BrEGGfast concepts, both of them housed together on Southeast 2nd Avenue. Death by Pizza will operate as a takeout-only shop with an expanded menu.
