Volare has opened their doors for business in the old soda fountain. It is the pizzeria's second location, and owners Pilar De La Vega and Antonio Sorgente have expanded the menu to include a few seafood options.

Volare serves both hand-tossed and Naples style pizza. The Express-News reports they are BYOB until beer and wine can begin.
The website advertises half-off appetizers from 2:30 to 4:30 Monday through Thursday.
