Sally's Apizza to Open in Boston's Fort Point/Seaport District

A Connecticut restaurant that is often mentioned as being one of the best places in the country for pizza is coming to the Boston waterfront.

According to a page within its website, Sally's Apizza is planning to open in the city's Fort Point/Seaport District, saying that it looks to open sometime in 2024 while also showing an aerial picture of Fan Pier, though an exact address has not been given as of yet. It looks like this will be the second location of the pizza spot in the Greater Boston area, as another is slated to open at Woburn Village this year [ed note--now open], and both will be joining the original in New Haven along with ones in Fairfield and Stamford. (Others are also in the works for Newington, Norwalk, and Wethersfield.)

Sally's Apizza, which first opened in 1938 and came under new ownership a few years ago, is one of several New Haven spots--including Pepe's and Modern--that are famous for their pizza, and Sally's and Pepe's use coal-fired ovens for their pizzas while all three use brick ovens which help give a char to the crust.

The website for Sally's Apizza is at https://sallysapizza.com/

[December 14 update: @FortPointer says (via a post from fortpointboston.com and a design submission presentation within the City of Boston website) that the upcoming Sally's Apizza will be located at 30 Thomson Place in Fort Point.]
