Renaissance Pizzaria is a pizza restaurant in New York City.
History[]
Peter Venkman and Janine Melnitz took Special Agent Melanie Ortiz to Renaissance Pizzaria after the Ghostbusters returned home from Iceland. Melanie was elated with a certain pizza and exclaimed it was spiciest pizza she ever had then asked why they didn't tell her about the place sooner. Peter remarked they didn't show it to just anyone. After 5:48 pm, Ray Stantz and Jenny Moran arrived. Ray yelled from outside that "he" was in New York. Peter thought he was referring to the ghost of President John F Kennedy manifesting again. Janine explained the repeat manifestations to Melanie.
