Illiano's Italian Restaurant to Open Sept. 14

The new restaurant will complete Pikesville's own "Corner Italy" at The Shops at Quarry Lake.

A manager at Illiano' J&P Restaurant J&P Restaurant said the new eatery is on track to open as early as Friday, Sept. 14. Located at 2620 Quarry Lake Dr. in Pikesville, Illiano's will be the second Italian restaurant at The Shops at Quarry Lake. In fact, the restaurant is next-door neighbors with Pizza Blitz, an Italian Restaurant restaurant that has been there for more than two years. Because both are located at the same corner of a building at Quarry Lake, some Pikesville Patch readers have said it's too close for two restaurants to survive. But others say we need only look to Baltimore City's Little Italy, where there are numerous Italian restaurants, to see that success in a close proximity is possible. Follow Pikesville Patch for …

Next Door: Too Close for 2 Italian Restaurants?

Iliano's J&P Restaurant's signage is now up at its new location in The Shops at Quarry Lake in Pikesville: the site of the former Ciao's Pizza Bistro Italiano, and right next to the pizza, subs and salads shop Pizza Blitz.

Illiano's J&P Restaurant has announced its presence in Pikesville by installing its new signage. You might know Illiano's from Westminster, located at 480 Meadow Creek Dr.; at 903 S. Main St. in Hampstead and 4821 Butler Road in Glyndon. "Soon," according to it's website, it's opening a new restaurant at 2620 Quarry Lake Dr., in the site of the former Ciao! Pizza Bistro Italiano that closed last year. That corner location abuts the already-established Pizza Blitz restaurant at 2622 Quarry Lake Dr. Some Pikesville Patch readers have said that having two Italian restaurants in one shopping center could cause some issues.

Pizza Blitz was not open with Ciao and they are doing a nice job. This is an example of a greedy landlord. Hopefully they can co exist but if I were Pizza Blitz I'd ask for a rent reduction   more ›

Restaurant Plans to Open at Former Ciao! at Quarry Lake

J&P Illianos Restaurant has applied to the Board of Liquor License Commissioners, and plans renovations, according to notices at 2620 Quarry Lake Drive.

A new restaurant is set to take the place of the former Ciao! Pizza Bistro Italiano at the Shops at Quarry Lake. A notice at 2620 Quarry Lake Drive states that J&P Illianos Restaurant plans to operate at the site.

Shop owners nearby have said the restaurant will likely serve Italian fare. If it is an Italian restaurant, it would be the second at Quarry Lake, after Pizza Blitz.

Patching, Salad Testing at Pizza Blitz

I tried the pizza last week at this Italian eatery in Quarry Lake at Greenspring. This week, I'm trying the house salad. And it, too, is a winner.

Where can you get a fresh, crisp and chunky house salad—completely unlike the kind of salad that has been wilting in a salad bar all day? Pizza Blitz at the Shops at Quarry Lake, 2622 Quarry Lake Drive in Pikesville. For about $5 you can get a large bowl of crispy iceberg lettuce, kalmata olives, thick slices of carrot and cucumber—the tasty varieties, mind you—and garlicy and spicy house Italian dressing. I must mention that this salad is seriously fresh. On a nice, warm day like today, while others are out walking near or running around the lake, stop in and watch them through one of Pizza Blitz's windows. And enjoy one excellent salad. For more info call the restaurant at 410-415-5644. Or visit Pizza Blitz's website.
