A deaf couple is set to open a new Neapolitan-style pizzeria in Washington, D.C., staffed only by deaf employees.

Mozzeria will be located on 1300 H St. NE, down the street from Gallaudet University, the world-renowned school for the deaf and hard of hearing where the couple first met. The restaurant will open in spring of 2020.
