    Cabo isn’t opening. Cabo and Pink Flamingo is the same restaurant. Owners had to change the name because of Cabo fish taco in Roanoke and Blacksburg

    Hot For Pizza opened about a week ago in Carver district (1301 W Leigh St). It’s a cross between NY, Greek & New Haven style with sourdough crust and super tasty from my experience!
