The address 222 Holmes Ave. might be familiar to longtime local food enthusiasts. Most recently it was home to The Bakingtist, a science-themed bakery which opened summer 2022 and later transitioned into a baking school before shuttering late 2024.

Before that, the space was part of the footprint of Below the Radar, a brewpub and restaurant which ran from 2012 to 2021.

This is in the original Huntsville Times building, on the corner of Holmes and Greene Street downtown.

Now, 222 Holmes Ave. is shapeshifting once again.

According to a poster in a storefront window there, Razzo Pizzeria is “coming soon” to the 3,600 square-foot space. Razzo will feature “craft pizza” by the slice, local beer, wine, salads and light deserts. The poster also touts “100% naturally leavened sourdough crust.”

“Razzo” is the Italian word for “rocket.” The pizzeria’s logo features a pizza-slice-shaped rocket-ship in place of the “A” in Razzo.

A website at razzopizzeria.com currently reads “under construction.”

The pizzeria will be located next to seafood restaurant/brewpub Catch 25, which opened around late 2022.
