Pizzeria With All Deaf Employees Opens in DC.

[elleng]

Mozzeria, a Deaf-owned-and-operated restaurant, is coming to D.C.

*Even though Mozzeria will be a new addition to the District, the restaurant has D.C. roots. Founders Melody and Russ Stein met at Gallaudet University, just a few blocks from the restaurant's new location.

The restaurant itself is designed to harmonize with the Deaf experience. The kitchen and dining spaces are open in order to maximize visual communication between staff members, and LED lights are used as a notification system for incoming calls.

1. Years ago it was said there was a bar in Seattle that catered to deaf clientele

I’d never been there so maybe it was just a rumor but it was many years before social media.

3. How long before Qanon says it is so they won't hear the screams of the children

in the basement?

4. Wonderful! Every step in the right direction for those of us profoundly hard of hearing or deaf

is a great thing, especially in this world where all revolves around the blaring TV, radios, loud music at the bars, etc.

I wish them the absolute best!

5. Great move, Gallaudet Univ. in DC is a vital institution.
