By Scott Etkin and Lisa KavaSuper Nice Pizza opened two weeks ago at 975 Amsterdam Avenue (southeast corner of West 108th Street) in the space that used to be Spice, a Thai restaurant. If the name sounds familiar, it might be because Dan Cohen, the proprietor, also runs Super Nice Coffee and Bakery, a doughnut shop around the corner that he opened in 2022.
