CEDAR RAPIDS — Tomaso’s Pizza is planning to move its Cedar Rapids location to First Avenue NE soon.

The local pizza restaurant started renovating a building at the corner of 27th Street and First Avenue NE around May 2022. A recent social media post announced plans to open there in early March.

The new location will replace the existing Cedar Rapids location at 3234 Center Point Rd. NE. Tomaso’s also has locations in Uptown Marion and Hiawatha, which will remain.

The local restaurant, known for its Detroit, Chicago deep dish and New York thin crust styles, has been open in Cedar Rapids for more than 27 years.
