It looks like a New England-based bakery and retailer with several locations in the region (including two in the Boston area) may be opening a restaurant in Southern Maine that features pizza.
According to SeacoastOnline.com, the people behind When Pigs Fly are hoping to open a pizza restaurant at the site of Durgin Farm on Route 1 in Kittery. The plan is to have a dining spot that features a wood-fired oven, along with a store that sells the bakery's breads. The article states that if the plans for the place work out, the restaurant will be housed in a 5,000-square-foot structure that also has a 1,200-square-foot porch, and seating for 50 to 100 diners.
SeacoastOnline.com mentions that the restaurant still needs to go through several steps before it can become reality, including approval from the Kittery Planning Board.
[May 24, 2011 update: When Pigs Fly did receive approval for its new When Pigs Fly Wood Fired Oven Pizzeria on Route 1 in Kittery, and construction seems to be moving along. About two weeks ago, the Facebook page for When Pigs Fly indicated that the new restaurant should be opening "in only a few more weeks," so expect the place to open very soon.]
[July 5, 2011 update: According to their Facebook page, When Pigs Fly Wood Fired Oven Pizzeria in Kittery is now open.]
When Pigs Fly first started out in Wells, Maine in 1993, and has now grown to include stores in York, Kittery, and Freeport, as well as Portsmouth, NH, and Brookline and Somerville in the Boston area. Its breads can be found in markets and stores throughout the Northeast, as well as Farmers' Markets in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
