The DEP estimates under 100 restaurants total would be impacted.īut some of New York’s oldest and iconic pizza joints - that pride themselves on having their pies baked in coal-and-wood-fired ovens - are facing the heat over the new strict emissions mandate. It was drafted to comply with Local 38 of 2015 approved by former Mayor Bill de Blasio - who was widely mocked after he was pictured eating a slice with a fork and knife - and the City Council, to reduce emissions. New York City pizzerias have started a “New York City Pizza Alliance” to fight City Hall’s proposed rule targeting coal and wood-fire stoves. Mayor Eric Adams and DEP officials emphasized the proposed new rule - first reported on Sunday by The Post - is open for public comment and not final. The rule targets coal-and-wood-fired ovens installed before May 2016 and restaurateurs said it would cost at least $20,000 to install air filtration systems to dramatically curb smoky emissions. The city Department of Environmental Protection has drafted new rules that would order eateries using the decades-old baking method to slice particulate emissions by up to 75%. Lobbyist and self-described pizza fanatic Brad Gerstman said Wednesday he’s created the “New York City Pizza Alliance” with fellow lawyer Nina Marinaro and pie makers to block “a concerted effort to undermine and suppress the coal and wood-fired pizza business.” NYC official defends his war on coal, wood-fired polluting pizzeriasĪ new alliance has formed to fight New York City’s edict targeting famous pizzerias that bake their pies in pollutant-spewing coal-and-wood-fired ovens.
