Sally's Apizza May Soon Be One Step Closer to Opening at South Bay in Dorchester

Last spring, it was reported that an award-winning Connecticut pizzeria was looking to open two more locations in the Greater Boston area, and we have now learned that one of them could be taking a big step toward being closer to reality by later this week.

According to a licensing board hearing page, Sally's Apizza is slated to meet with the city on Wednesday, August 6 to discuss its plans to open at South Bay in Dorchester, with the notice saying that the proposed 4,965-square-foot spot looks to have indoor seating for 138 including a capacity of 15 at a bar and another 48 on an outdoor patio while also seeking a full liquor license. Back in May of 2024, it was announced that Sally's was planning to open locations at both South Bay and in Concord, the latter of which is currently under construction and will be located just east of the Concord Rotary; another outlet is in the works are in Boston's Fort Point as well.

Sally's Apizza first opened in New Haven in 1938.

The address for the upcoming Sally's Apizza at South Bay is 9 District Avenue, Dorchester, MA, 02118. The website for all locations is at https://sallysapizza.com/
