Greco’s New York Pizzeria is plotting its return to Sherman Oaks, with plans to fire up the ovens at 4319 Woodman Ave as early as June. The new outpost is expected to span about 1,000 square feet, with an open kitchen, counter seating, and late-night hours. It is being driven by the next generation of the family business and marks a Valley comeback after a previous Sherman Oaks location closed.
Signage and timeline
As reported by What Now Los Angeles, co-owner Nico Grasu said the team is "excited to be back serving the Sherman Oaks community" and noted that minor cosmetic work is already underway. The outlet reports that Greco’s is aiming for an early June opening at the Woodman Avenue space, which comes in at roughly 1,000 square feet. According to the same report, the storefront last housed Santino’s NY Pizza, which shut down at the end of March.
Menu and footprint
According to Greco’s official site, the family-run pizzeria has been part of the Los Angeles dining scene since 1979 and currently operates locations in Hollywood and Tarzana. The menu features whole pies and pizza by the slice, including party-size pies up to 28 inches, along with salads, pastas, wings, hot and cold hero sandwiches, and gyros. The spread is built to handle everything from a quick solo slice to bigger group orders.
Roots in Sherman Oaks
Greco’s first expanded into Sherman Oaks in 1992 with a shop on Van Nuys Boulevard, and that earlier location closed in 2016, per What Now Los Angeles. Older business listings place Greco’s at 4572 Van Nuys Blvd, underscoring the brand’s long-running Valley presence as it prepares a return engagement. The family has said that bringing Greco’s back to Sherman Oaks felt like a natural fit, given those neighborhood ties.
What to expect
If Greco’s sticks to its current timeline, Sherman Oaks is on track to gain another late-night New York-style pizza option with counter service and an open kitchen. The owners have not set a formal opening date beyond the early June goal, and details on hours and any grand-opening plans are expected to land on the pizzeria’s website and on-site signage as work wraps up. For now, fans of big, foldable slices can circle early summer as the moment Greco’s signature pies and by-the-slice service return to the neighborhood.
