Paisano's Pizza Coming to Annandale
The restaurant will replace the Pelican Seafood restaurant.
Paisano's Pizza is opening up a new location at the former site of Pelican Seafood in Annandale.
According to owner Fouad Qreitem, the restaurant will open in mid-to-late November. Renovations at the location, at 7327 Little River Turnpike, began about four weeks ago. Pelican Seafood closed earlier this month.
Qreitem said residents can take comfort in knowing that the restaurant will be owned and maintained by one of their own; he was born and raised in Annandale and went to Annandale High School.
