Jacona Brothers bringing Tiki Jac’s to Rehoboth Avenue
Information is limited, but the old Nicola Pizza on Rehoboth Avenue is going to be a restaurant called Tiki Jac’s.
The pizzeria’s final day in the building was Labor Day; a Tiki Jac’s banner was hung in a ground-level window along Rehoboth Avenue a short time later.
The new restaurant will be run by Chris and Anthony Jacona, who also own and operate the Sea Hogg food truck, Zogg's Raw Bar & Grill, Zogg’s Rum Shack, the Wheelhouse along the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal in downtown Lewes, and Bushels Crab House & Seafood on Route 1 outside Lewes.
In addition to the space on the Avenue, the original Nicola Pizza on North First Street is also being renovated and turned into Downtown Blues, a restaurant operated by Bethany Blues.
Chris Flood has been working for the Cape Gazette since early 2014 and has the local parking passes to prove it. He currently covers Rehoboth Beach and Henlopen Acres, but has also covered Dewey Beach and the state government. He covers environmental stories, business stories, random stories on subjects he finds interesting and has a column called ‘Choppin’ Wood’ that runs every other week. Additionally, Chris moonlights as the company’s circulation manager, which primarily means fixing boxes during daylight hours that are jammed with coins, but sometimes means delivering papers in the middle of the night. He’s a graduate of the University of Maine and the Landing School of Boat Building & Design. People are often surprised to learn that Chris was able to convince someone to marry him and, more surprisingly, convince that person to then have kids with him.
