Just across the street, Dalton’s Speck Italian Eatery will begin construction this year on the ground floor of The Nicholas building. A French bistro (name TBD) is going into the space at 14 E. In case you missed our reporting this week, Veritas chef-owner Josh Dalton is partnering with local developer Jeff Edwards on three new Downtown ventures. The pair launched their first location in Reynoldsburg last year. This makes two locations for the tavern-style pizzeria owned by brothers Jamey and Joey Sexton.

Sexton’s Pizza held its Gahanna grand opening yesterday at 943 E. Offering a menu of Cajun/Creole-influenced seafood dishes and sandwiches, Black Box Fix is targeting a January 2021 debut. Chef Eric Rogers' fast-casual spot, located at 4037 Fenlon St., replaces Zest Juice Co. A Cleveland-area eatery called Black Box Fix is joining Easton Town Center, according to an announcement on the restaurant’s social media accounts.
