Will Zing! Pizza in Cambridge Ever Reopen?

Several months ago, a pizza spot in the Porter Square section of Cambridge closed for "renovations," and today it remains shuttered, with no sign of life. So is Zing! Pizza gone for good, or will it reopen at some point? As of now, there doesn't appear to be a definitive answer, though things admittedly do not look good.

Based on the Yelp and Davis Square Live Journal sites, it appears that Zing! Pizza, which first opened in 2008, may be closed for good, as the former site simply has a "Closed" label at the top of the Zing! page, while the latter site includes posts that indicate the Mass. Ave. eatery will probably not reopen. Meanwhile, the Zing! website has a note on the home page stating that the restaurant is "going through a reorganization and will be closed until further notice."

Until we receive 100% confirmation on their closing (a "For Rent" sign, a new business moving in, etc.), we will just have to say that Zing! is closed for now and might not be coming back.

On a related note, the nearby Cafe Zing, which is connected with Zing! Pizza, remains open inside Porter Square Books (in the Porter Square Shopping Center).

The address for Zing! Pizza is 1925 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02238.
