A pair of pizza spots that have gained both local and national recognition over the years could be opening a third location, and this one would reside where one of Boston's best-known dining and drinking places had once been.
According to a post within the Jamaica Plain Facebook group, Stoked Pizza Company is hoping to open on Washington Street where Doyle's Cafe had been until closing in 2019, with a Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council Public Service Committee notice indicating that the proposal is slated to be discussed in a virtual meeting on January 2. A check on Bizapedia confirms that there is indeed a recently-formed LLC called "Stoked Pizza JP" while the meeting notice mentions Toirm Miller, who is one of the owners of Stoked. If approved, the new location of Stoked--which has received high praise from Zagat, Boston Magazine, Chronicle, Eater Boston, and others--would join existing locations in Brookline and Cambridge.
Back in 2020, it looked like the people behind Brassica Kitchen + Cafe in the Forest Hills section of JP might be taking over the former Doyle's Cafe space, and while no news on that proposal has been given of late, a few months ago it was learned that the Brassica team was looking to expand into the former Dogwood Cafe space which is next door to their dining spot.
Doyle's Cafe had been in operation since 1882.
The address for the former Doyle's (and proposed Stoked Pizza Company) is 3484 Washington Street, Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130. The website for Stoked is at https://www.stokedpizzaco.com/
