The north side of Juniper Boulevard South between 71st and 77th streets will be blocked off for the whole block.
Rosa’s Pizzeria located at 75-59 Metropolitan Avenue makes a return to the small screen with “Bull” as various interior dialogue scenes will be shot at the restaurant. Filming is set to take place from 5:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. the following morning.

“Bull” is a drama series that stars Michael Weatherly (best known for his work as Anthony DiNozzo on the “NCIS” series) as Dr. Jason Bull, a character inspired by the early work of Dr. Phil McGraw — better known as just Dr. Phil — during his time as a lawyer.
Dr. Jason Bull is a brilliant, charming and sometimes brash psychologist who combines the areas of psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick in the courtroom.
The show is set to premiere on CBS on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
