Pizza, pizza, pizza: Serafina rises in Tribeca

- By JENNIFER GOULD KEIL

Serafina is opening a three-story, 6,500-square-foot pizza parlor in Tribeca this week.

The luxurious, loft-like space at 113 Reade St. will be the celebrity pizza and pasta chain’s 10th in the Big Apple and coincides with Serafina’s 20th anniversar­y.

The swanky pizza palace designed by the Italian firm Costa Group will seat 128 people and feature art by Pato Paez. There’s also a private event space with a 20-seat communal table, a private wine list and an extra large by the Magnum format.

Zucker’s Bagels & Smoked Fish is launching its fourth and biggest location to date.

The 1,800-square-foot space, at 40 E. 23rd St., will be Zucker’s flagship, serving hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels made daily on site

After launching in Tribeca, it opened popular outposts in two locations: near Grand Central, where it is also building a 2,000-square-foot commissary, and on the Upper West Side, which recently opened an outdoor patio with 27 seats.

Founder Matt Pomerantz, who coowns Zucker’s with Dan Pace, is also co-founder of Murray’s Bagels, which was named after his father.

WE HEAR … that this is the summer of the frozen rosé drink. In Battery Park City, Conrad New York hotel’s Loopy Doopy Rooftop bar has launched the frozen rosé pop in a glass of Prosecco, says Frank Ferraro, president of UnoKeg Singlo, which provides Italian wines on tap. For those who want to make a similar drink at home, famed chocolatie­r Jacques Torres has created the “Frosé.” Pour a bottle of Champagne Taittinger Prestige Rosé into a sheet pan and place in freezer. Put the frozen rosé in a blender with half a cup of simple syrup and three ounces of lemon juice and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.
