Prince Pizzeria to Open New Takeout Location in Saugus

photo of pepperoni pizza from Prince Pizzeria, Saugus, MA[Ed note: This article was updated on September 7 to reflect confirmation of Prince opening a takeout spot.] It looks like a popular pizza restaurant on the southbound side of Route 1 in Saugus is planning on opening a second spot, with this one being more of a quick-service pizza place. A post on their Facebook page indicates that Prince Pizzeria is hoping to open a takeout spot somewhere in the area, with the post beginning with the question, "What do you think of a PRINCE TAKEOUT location on Route 1 NORTHBOUND?" Posts later in the thread show that plans are in their early stages (and that Route 1 North is only a possibility), as Prince is "in the process of looking for a location...nothing for sure yet." If/when the restaurant does find a space for a second location, we will post an update here.

[September 7 update: Prince Pizzeria has confirmed that they will indeed be opening a takeout place, moving into the space on Route 1 northbound where Karl's Sausage Kitchen had been (Karl's has since moved to a new location in Peabody). A note on their Facebook page indicates that the new Prince takeout spot could be open in mid-October.]

[October 19 update: A more recent note on their Facebook page shows that the new Prince takeout spot is planning to open this afternoon. The address for the new spot is 142 Broadway (Route 1 Northbound), which is just north of the Walnut Street intersection.]

Prince Pizzeria has been in business since the early 1960s, featuring a variety of pizzas and pasta dishes as well as soups, salads, sandwiches, and more. A comedy club called "Giggles" is also located on the premises.

The address for the original Prince Pizzeria is 517 Broadway (Route 1) in Saugus. The phone number is (781) 233-9950. And their website can be found at http://www.princepizzeria.com/
