Sally's Apizza Lights Up Dorchester

Sally's Apizza, renowned for its exquisite coal-fired pizza, is all set to unveil its new location in Dorchester, Massachusetts, at the South Bay Center on September 30, 2025, at 5 PM. The restaurant, which has been a staple in New Haven since 1938, aims to offer the unique taste of Sally's to more pizza enthusiasts in the Boston area, following the success of its Woburn outlet.

The anticipation for the grand opening is palpable, with reservations already being taken through OpenTable. Brand Advisor Christian Bonaventura expressed excitement about expanding their footprint in Massachusetts, stating that the passionate fan base generated in Woburn has fueled their desire to bring the Sally's experience to Dorchester. “Our grand opening will celebrate the local culture and will feature entertainment that pays homage to several famous residents of Dorchester,” Bonaventura added.

At the heart of the menu are Sally's pizzas, celebrated for their hand-crafted quality and unique coal-fired preparation. With a signature thin and charred crust, complemented by tangy tomato sauce and a light touch of mozzarella, the menu boasts ten pizza varieties, including classics like the Tomato Sauce Pie, Mozzarella Tomato, and Potato Rosemary. Additionally, patrons can expect a rotating selection of seasonal pies, ensuring that there's always something new during each visit.

Beyond pizza, the restaurant presents a diverse menu featuring appetizers, salads, and entrees crafted by Chef Bret Lunsford. Guests can indulge in starters like Italian Wings with Calabrian Chili and House-Made Meatballs served in whipped ricotta, while salad options include Caesar and Classic Wedge. The entrée options range from Chicken Parmesan to thoughtfully designed pasta dishes such as Rigatoni Vodka and Tagliatelle Bolognese.

On the beverage side, Sally's Apizza showcases an enticing assortment of wines, both top-rated and locally sourced, complemented by classic cocktails. Special highlights include Amalfi Lemonade and a creative take on the Bloody Mary, dubbed Sunday Sauced, featuring Sally's own tomato sauce. The specificity of the offerings extends to draft beers, non-alcoholic choices, and fountain soda, which includes the local favorite, Foxon Park.

Designed with modern customers in mind, the new Dorchester location still embodies the familial essence of its original spot on Wooster Street. Recognizable by its iconic red and white tiled oven, the inviting interior features honey oak wood-paneled walls adorned with memorabilia, providing an atmosphere steeped in history. The spacious dining area, which accommodates over 100 guests, and a 12-seat bar, are complemented by caramel-colored leather booths, ideal for relaxation.
