Leaders announced via Facebook Saturday that new downtown restaurant Community Pie will open Monday at 5 p.m.

Mike and Taylor Monen own the restaurant, which is in the former Market Street Tavern location near Miller Plaza.

The couple already operate two successful Chattanooga restaurants-Urban Stack and Taco Mamacita.

The food concept for their new venture is Neapolitan pizza, handcrafted gelato and craft beers.

According to the Facebook page, the restaurant will be open for dinner the first week Monday through Friday, and then beginning Saturday, it will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week.

“We are very excited to finally be open and want to thank everyone for their excitement and support of our new restaurant,” a restaurant representative said via Facebook.
