NYC Village Pizza opened Thursday at 129 W. Fourth St. in south Bethlehem. The 40-seat restaurant serves Italian and Mediterranean favorites such as calzones, strombolis, gyros and kebabs. Owner John Okumus previously operated Stromboli Pizza on North 17th Street in Allentown and other restaurants in New York City since 1980.

The menu reflects his Italian and Turkish background with pide and lahmacun (Turkish flatbreads with cheese, meat and/or vegetables); pasta dinners such as baked ziti and eggplant rollatini; Mediterranean sandwiches such as falafel and kofte kebabs; and desserts such as baklava and kadayif.
