Following nearly eight months of suspended operations due to a relocation, Strong’s Brick Oven Pizzeria in Newport is set to reopen in its new storefront along Monmouth Street.
On Feb. 16, Strong’s announced on Facebook that it plans to open at its new location on 708 Monmouth St. in March, which was previously JerZee’s sports bar.
“After tackling major renovations and city inspections, we’re excited to announce our new home at 708 Monmouth Street, just four blocks from our original location,” Strong’s leadership said in the Facebook announcement. “The space is bigger, refreshed, and built to better serve the community we love.”
The new Strong’s location will feature seating for over 200 guests, two full bars, a full menu, an Italian-designed veranda, and a stage for performances and community events.
Strong’s previous Newport location was at 336 Monmouth St., which served as its flagship restaurant. Strong’s had been operating from the building for 12 years before announcing plans to relocate in June 2025. The pizzeria has four other stores throughout Greater Cincinnati, including Lawrenceburg, Reading, Union, and Green Township.
