Following nearly nine months of suspended operations due to a relocation, Strong’s Brick Oven Pizzeria in Newport is open for business at its new location on Monmouth Street. 

On April 12, Strong’s announced on Facebook that it was officially open for business at 708 Monmouth St., the former JerZee’s sports bar location. 

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.
