Sally's in Woburn, MA is finally opening next week. Any idea when the Wethersfield one is opening? We have relatives in Cromwell so we're down that way a lot.
I’ll be moving to Boston probably early February and I’ll give it a shot. Granted I haven’t had the originalSally's in Woburn, MA is finally opening next week. Any idea when the Wethersfield one is opening? We have relatives in Cromwell so we're down that way a lot.
New Haven classic Sally’s Apizza prepares to slice into Woburn
One opening in the Seaport in Boston also. Not sure when. If it takes as long as Woburn and Wethersfield I'd expect 2026.I’ll be moving to Boston probably early February and I’ll give it a shot. Granted I haven’t had the original
Might actually make it to that one. Woburn? That might as well be Canada.One opening in the Seaport in Boston also. Not sure when. If it takes as long as Woburn and Wethersfield I'd expect 2026.
You’re south shore right? Yeah that’s a trek across 93 lolMight actually make it to that one. Woburn? That might as well be Canada.
For you probably. About 35 minutes from our house. Not close but not Canada.Might actually make it to that one. Woburn? That might as well be Canada.
South/west part of Metro west. Anything north of Boston that isn't on 495 might as well be Nova Scotia the way our traffic is now. I know you're moving here, great area, but the traffic has become unimaginably bad (even compared to SoCal).You’re south shore right? Yeah that’s a trek across 93 lol
Goldbelly delivers specialty foods across states. I had very good results with Zuppardi’s. Sally’s is also an option. Anyone else have experience with Goldbelly versions? Zuppardi’s vs Sally’s? Time to order.
You can find Zuppardi’s at Big Y if you are local. For frozen, it’s good. But we have an embarrassment of riches in SW CT.
Parlor in Wilton was extremely good. I believe @heyadrien spoke highly of them before. Neapolitan style with very good ingredients.
They have a whole menu of apps and dinners in Fairfield and Stamford already. I agree with you.Sally's adding chicken and eggplant parm and ribeye steak to their menu in Woburn? Stick with pizza. Sometimes companies overthink things and ruin their brand. I think this is one of those times.
Sally's Apizza opening in Woburn, Mass., its first restaurant outside of CT
it didn't used to be so expensive, but ever since it was bought by private equity they have done virtually everything imaginable (including opening in woburn, ma) to squeeze profit out of the brand. i want to say that you could get a large tomato pie for like $14 <10 years ago.Went to Sally's in Woburn, MA today. Very good. I haven't had Sally's in New Haven in forever so I can't compare. I like Pepe's better. Both crusts are great but Sally's has minimal mozz and I would like a little more than they put on their pizza.
What's up with the prices at Sally's? The Pepe's around here charge $24 for a 18" large cheese pizza. Sally's is $29.75. Seems out of whack. Is the Sally's in New Haven more expensive than the Pepe's in New Haven also?
The pizza is very much not the same. I went to Sally's about 10 years ago in New Haven, and it was easily my favorite of the major New Haven competitors. I went there about six months ago, and it was nowhere near the same. On top of that, the Sally's in Fairfield is atrocious. Like straight up garbage. The second they sold out it was over. They're done.it didn't used to be so expensive, but ever since it was bought by private equity they have done virtually everything imaginable (including opening in woburn, ma) to squeeze profit out of the brand. i want to say that you could get a large tomato pie for like $14 <10 years ago.
the pizza is still the same, but a lot of the other things that i loved about the restaurant are long gone.
Agreed, sadly. Sally's isn't even in my top 10 anymore.The pizza is very much not the same.

i disagree about the pizza in new haven, but i certainly have not been going as often as i used to, so i am willing to concede that it has become less consistent.The pizza is very much not the same.

OK now you see, this is what pisses me off. At the bulk they buy their ingredients in even with inflation there is maybe $3 worth of ingredients on those pies, if that. Years ago it was less than a dollar. One time maybe 15 years ago I was mistakenly mailed a products brochure that was meant to go to pizza parlors. It had the prices in it for ingredients in huge amounts, sauce, cheese, pepperoni, flour, you name it. Their ad read “when you buy from us it’s less than 75 cents a pie!” Pizza was $12 then.Went to Sally's in Woburn, MA today. Very good.

Yep, I went twice while visiting in the past after they were bought and expanded and won't return. It's not what it used to be and it's ridiculous they charge $10 more than Modern and Fuoco for a pie and they charge around $6.50 per topping.Went to Sally's in Woburn, MA today. Very good.

They’re definitely trying to squeeze more profit out but I guarantee you their labor costs have skyrocketed, like everyone else.OK now you see, this is what pisses me off.

Granted, there’s a bunch of overhead, that I admit but still those $30 a pizza prices are nuts. But whatever the market will bear I guess.
I‘m making my own these days and not disappointed in any way.
Found a pizza place that had an intriguing name for UConn fans.
