East Street restaurant seeks expansion, seating change

The Frederick pizza restaurant Pistarro’s is looking for permission from the city to change its outdoor seating area and add space to its North East Street location. The restaurant would like to move a tented outdoor seating area that was set up during the COVID-19 pandemic from the front corner of its building to the rear corner. It also wants to extend the patio by about 20 feet along the sidewalk of East Street, and add 940 square feet, David Lingg of Lingg Property Consulting told the city’s Planning Commission at a workshop Monday.
