Otto Pizza Is Opening a New Location Near Boston University in Brookline

A Portland, Maine-based pizza spot continues to expand through the Boston area, with plans now in place for a new branch near Boston University.

Eater Boston is reporting that Otto Pizza is going to be opening on Commonwealth Avenue in Brookline (making this their second location in that town), taking over the space where a location of the Upper Crust Pizzeria had been until closing last month. The article mentions that the new outlet of the pizza spot will have a capacity of 50, and beer and wine will be available. Once it opens, this will be the third Otto Pizza in the Boston area, with the other two being in Cambridge's Harvard Square and Brookline's Coolidge Corner.

There is no word of an opening date for the new Otto Pizza in Brookline; as soon as we find out when it might open, we will post an update here.

[August 10 update: Both the Brookline TAB and the Brookline Patch mention that the new Otto Pizza by Boston University hopes to open around August 20.]

[August 27 update: BostonTweet reports that the new Otto Pizza on Commonwealth Avenue is now open for business.]

[September 24 update: The Brookline TAB states that the new Otto Pizza on Commonwealth Avenue has just been approved for a beer and wine license.]
