Nick's Pizza & Subs, Carryout in Darnestown MD in the Former Uncle Charlie's BBQ Space - Closed

[ol_ironstomach]

In that burgeoning metropolis of Darnestown, the space that was formerly Uncle Charlie's BBQ has been under major renovation the past few weeks enroute to becoming Nick's Pizza & Subs.  I found the owner amongst the construction work, and the relevant bits I got were: he's shooting for opening the 22nd (seems optimistic IMHO), two masonry stone-floor ovens of very different slab thickness are going in so they can bake different styles of pizza, one of the target styles will be Neapolitan, the pizzaiolo is a new guy from Pittsburgh.

Carry-out only...it wasn't clear if it was their restaurant or DLC permit that would not permit seating.  The adjoining space will be a mini-storefront selling beer, wine, and other beverages.

Will report back once it opens.

It is open now but I haven't tried it. It seems the owner has the resources to make this decent if he chooses; I look forward to trying it.

Of course there's a lot of competition right down the road in Gaithersburg. When I first moved in, I counted 12 places that sold pizza - all within a mile of me. I hope there's enough business out Rte 28 to support the effort.

Nick's closed in the past month or two - the recording for the number (remarkably, 301-963-0000) says it's "temporarily disconnected," so take everything for what it's worth.

Update: after a seemingly brief and strange period of signage as "Adam'z Pizza", including some realty signs offering the site, there was some interior work going on this weekend, while the sign out front has changed to "Taste of New Orleans".  Curious.  I did find a recent job ad of theirs on Craigslist.
