A brand new pizzeria has opened in the western suburbs of Boston, and it is located within another restaurant that is getting ready to reopen.
According to a source (Young-Ho Yoon), Frank's Brick Oven Pizza is now open in back of The Local Kitchen & Drinks in West Newton, with the website for the pizzeria saying that "our dream was to do a scratch old school pizza place with high quality ingredients, however we never found the time. Recently with the shutdowns and the fragility of 'dine in' restaurants we decided this was our time to turn a negative into a positive." Walace Benica, who is corporate chef of The Local restaurants (including locations in Waltham, Wayland, Wellesley, and Woburn), is involved with Frank's as well, while the pizzeria offers takeout and delivery with pickup taking place at the front area of The Local.
The West Newton location of The Local plans to open back up for takeout on February 9 after being closed for awhile--and briefly being for lease until a deal was worked out with the landlord.
The address for Frank's Brick Oven Pizza (and The Local) is 1391 Washington Street, West Newton, MA, 02465. The website for Frank's can be found at https://www.franksbrickovenpizza.com/
