A pizzeria that was popular with college students has shut down.
According to a poster within the Friends Of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Espresso Pizza in Medford is no longer in business, with a Facebook post from the Boston Avenue spot indicating that it closed its doors on Saturday. A post on its Facebook page from Friday says the following:
My brother, Anthony Salvato Jr. bought Espresso Pizza in the 1970s. Espresso Pizza has been a staple in the community for decades. Anthony worked hard to create an established business and provide for his cherished family. He went above and beyond for the community and those in need. When he passed away, I was determined to keep his legacy alive. After 9 great but long and exhausting years, I will be retiring and Espresso pizza will be permanently closing. Espresso Pizza and its employees would like to extend our gratitude to our family, friends and valued customers. It has been a pleasure to serve our community over the years but we are getting old and tired. Thank you for your continued support. We will miss everyone!"
In addition to pizza, Espresso--which was located across the street from Tufts University--also served salads, sandwiches, grill items, and calzones.
The address for Espresso Pizza was 336 Boston Avenue, Medford, MA, 02155.
