[Ed note: This article was updated to reflect the fact that this place actually has no connection to the Sweet Tomatoes locations in the Boston area.]
A new pizzeria is coming to the northwest suburbs of Boston, and it has an identical name to a local group of dining spots.
According to a source, Sweet Tomatoes Pizza is opening in Acton, moving into a space in the Powder Mill Plaza that had been home to a location of Papa Gino's. A brochure within the LMS Commercial Real Estate confirms this, showing that the eatery will indeed be coming to the site which is located along Route 62 near the Concord line.
A check on its website indicates that this eatery is connected to another Sweet Tomatoes Pizza in Sandwich, but it is separate from the Sweet Tomatoes found in West Newton, Newton Centre, Needham, and at Northeastern University in Boston. (This has been confirmed by a Facebook post, as well as a message sent from this group of restaurants which says the Acton/Sandwich spots are owned and operated separately.)
The address for the new Sweet Tomatoes in Acton is 82 Powder Mill Road, Acton, MA, 01720. The website for both the Acton and Sandwich locations can be found at https://sweettomatoesinc.com/
[November 12 update: A check on its website indicates that the new location of Sweet Tomatoes in Acton is now open.]
[December 23 update: A Wicked Local article seems to clarify the naming of the new Sweet Tomatoes in Acton, as the owner of both the Acton and Sandwich locations had been co-owner of the West Newton location of Sweet Tomatoes for 16 years before leaving the place recently.]
