Scoozi Opening on Commonwealth Avenue Near Kenmore Square

A gourmet pizzeria and sandwich bar that has been in existence on Newbury Street for nearly ten years is apparently opening a new restaurant just outside of Kenmore Square. According to the EveryBlock Boston site, Scoozi received a license to operate a restaurant at 580 Commonwealth Avenue, which is a short distance west of Kenmore, and the blogger Good Cook Doris mentioned today that there is a sign at this spot stating that Scoozi is on the way. The space that Scoozi is moving into is where Z Square used to be until they closed a little over a year ago.

The Newbury Street Scoozi, which first opened in 2001, features thin-crust pizza and a variety of panini options, as well as salads and calzones. Their dinner menu also has a number of more substantial entrees with an emphasis on Italian fare, including such dishes as risotto, veal scaloppine, mussels marinara, and shrimp and scallops limoncello.

The address for the new Scoozi is: Scoozi, 580 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215. the website for Scoozi on Newbury Street is at: http://www.scooziboston.com/
