Birra construction close to complete

Gordon Dinerman, whose Birra (1700 E. Passyuk Ave.) we first talked about back in March, has been testing recipes and baking pizzas in his standard-issue apartment kitchen, but that will be changing soon enough — the chef/owner expects to complete construction of the restaurant any day now and hopes to start cooking using his brick-lined, gas-burning deck ovens next week. (Opening should be around Labor Day.) Dinerman's menu will also feature small apps, pressed sandwiches, their signature "Birra Bowl" and more, but the main focus will definitely be pizza. As far as drinks go, Dinerman hopes to have a mix of at least six American and Euro craft beers on tap, plus bottled beers and growlers. There will also be a selection of wines and cocktails. For a sneak peek at the preparation of a Birra Bowl, see this Dandy Warhols-soundtracked video.
