A Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizzeria, Vicino Pizza opened Oct. 5 at 2385 N. Old Mill Loop (across the street from Cold Stone) in Riverstone.

With a casual Italian farmhouse decor, seating is for 75 inside with four outside patio tables that will expand to 10 next spring. Five TVs help with NFL Sundays.

Management includes owner Naomi Boutz, Executive Chef Josh Pebbles, Manager Krita French and Sous Chef Shawn Gust. Doors open at 11 a.m. with eat-in, online ordering, take-out and delivery. Phone 208-758-7997. Check www.vicinopizza.com.
