An award-winning wood-fired pizzeria in Chelsea is expanding to a new location.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Ciao! Pizza and Pasta is planning to open in Somerville, with an Instagram story showing a photo of an oven and saying "coming soon" and "first fire!" Another poster within the group mentions that the new location plans to open at 688 Broadway in Ball Square, which is also shown within a Somerville Times page.
The Chelsea location of Ciao! Pizza and Pasta first opened on Williams Street in 2015, gaining recognition from Boston Magazine, The Boston Globe, Yelp, and the Food Network over the years. Its website can be found at https://www.ciaopizzaandpasta.com/ while the Instagram page for the Somerville location is at https://www.instagram.com/ciao_somerville/
[April 30 update: According to the stories section of its Instagram page, the Somerville location of Ciao is now open, with its "temporary hours of operation" indicating that it is currently open for dinner only, Tuesday through Saturday.]
