The windows of a former Einstein Bros. Bagels shop at 441 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, have been festooned for over a year with teasers that Lazy Moon Pizza would be moving in soon. Now it really is soon – the third location of the ginormous pie-maker is set to softly open next week. Tim Brown founded the pizzeria nearly 20 years ago near UCF and opened a second location in downtown’s Mills 50 District in 2016. If you want to get technical about it, the existing UCF location is actually the second – the original Lazy Moon was located in the strip mall that used to be on the corner of University Boulevard and Alafaya Trail that was demolished to make way for the apartments and retail shops that stand there now.

Also expected next week, Schmankerl Stub’n, which bills itself as a modern German restaurant, will begin schnitzeling at 131 N. Orange Ave. in the space that was previously Motorworks Brewing and Orange County Brewers before that. So, there should be plenty of beer steins in the place.

The operators of the Great Southern Box Company Food Hall have announced new vendors for the Packing District venue. Antica Pizzeria, Rock the Guac and Kabob 2 Go will join previously announced A Lo Cubano Kitchen, Poke Fin and Kayos Jamaican Grill when the hall opens later this month. I’m sure they’ll do well because food halls are wildly popular, and all those people who weren’t going to the recently-closed Hall on the Yard will need someplace else not to go to.

And while we’re on the subject, whatever happened to the two downtown food halls – Bumby Arcade and South Orange Provisions – that were announced years ago?

Pinstripes, a bowling and bocce bistro, has opened at Vineland Pointe. In the same sentence of a press release, Pinstripes said it was going after the convention business “targeting over 1,000 events within its first year” and “making it a true social hub for the Orlando community.” Not sure you can do both.
