Most people thought it would never open.

However, tomorrow, after the half-completed restaurant sat vacant for a year, Oasis Pizza and Gyro is opening.

Peter Moundros, the owner of Oasis, said there were delays in putting in a new kitchen at the 40-02 Queens Blvd location.

Moundros, who also owns Pete’s Grill on Queens Blvd, said Oasis will focus on rotisserie chicken, gyros, souvlaki and pizza.

“It’s targeted to a different clientele that Pete’s Grill,” Moundros said. “The service will be quicker and faster; it’s for people who get off the subway,” he added. “Pete’s is more of a sit down place.”

The restaurant will be open seven days per week, from 11 am through to 11 pm.

A gyro sandwich will cost $4.95 and the platter $9.95. A rotisserie chicken will run at $8.95, and a plain pizza pie $13.95.

Next week, residents will be able to order in by calling 718-786-4976.
