A 9-year-old girl was shot in the chest outside of a Yonkers pizzeria Friday, cops said.

An unidentified gunman opened fire outside Pizza D’Ora on Palisades Ave. near Elm St. at about 6 p.m., hitting the child.

Al Salazar was dining at the nearby Lama Bonita restaurant and enjoying the Chile-Australia World Cup match when shots rang out.

“Everybody in the restaurant hit the floor because we were all scared,” said Salazar, 58. “Everybody was running and we saw a couple of guys running away.”

Moments later, he said, a waitress saw the little girl lying on the ground and bleeding.

A woman, 31, who was not the child’s mother, was shot in the arm and a man, 28, was shot in the foot.

All the victims are expected to survive. No arrests had been made as of late Friday.
