Last summer we reported that Ema Rossi Pizzeria Napoletana would be moving in to the old Pizza Hut location in the Rock Creek Village Center (5556 Norbeck Rd).
Pizza Hut closed back in April of 2020 and the location remained vacant for a few months, but the space was quickly snatched up and permanent signage for Ema Rossi went up in the winter.
The Block in Pike & Rose has reopened with an entirely new menu and two new chefs. The new menu has a fresh take on dim sum, Chinese street food, sandwiches, tacos, and more.
