Glen Rock's Francesca Pizzeria Turns Into Burger Joint Saturday

GLEN ROCK, NJ — For one night, a well-known borough pizzeria is flipping the switch to burgers.

Francesca Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta will host its first after-hours special event: Francesca After Dark Burger Night.

The 90-minute event is Saturday from 9:15 to 10:45 p.m. The usual pizzeria will turn into a pop-up burger shop.

Co-owners Salvatore Reina and Adam Vuksanic wanted to do a little something different.

"I enjoy all types of food and like to be creative, I really love burgers, not as much as pizza though," Rein said. "I decided to do this because I think it’s something really fun and brings some excitement to the town.”

Francesca's will celebrate its 10th year in Glen Rock in April. The Elmwood Park location just celebrated its one-year anniversary. The restaurants are very active in their communities and often support local functions and fundraisers.

Tickets cost $25, which includes a burger, one side, two drinks and milk and cookies from Yani's Bakehouse in Fair Lawn. Beer is available to customers 21 and older.
