A nomadic pizza maker is soon to settle down in its first home. Tralia, which is known as a pop-up, offers its popular pies at local watering holes and other locations where customers may get a case of the munchies, is open for takeout and delivery from Gulf Gate and is planning to welcome dine-in customers in mid-February.

Founded by Anthony Petalia, Tralia offers Detroit-style and “sourdough rounds” that resemble traditional Neapolitan pizza. The brick-and-mortar location at 6596 Superior Ave. is the former home of Your Culinary Place, a shared kitchen business. Tralia will add seating to the space and is working to obtain a beer and wine license.
